Saturday’s Big Preview: National League South

There’s a full programme on Saturday with plenty to be excited about.

Dulwich Hamlet have had worse weeks. It looks like the club are going home by can they compete a perfect couple of days?

Gavin Rose takes his team to Billericay Town hoping to give their fans more to cheer. The leaders face a test of character after an eight-hour round trip to Taunton on Wednesday.

Woking will be looking to exploit any lapses they may have and welcome a Bath City side still bruised after limping out of the FA Cup.

Welling are the division’s form side - despite the Cards’ Fourth Qualifying Round win over them last weekend.

Steve King’s men are sitting in second spot and if they can win a fourth game in a row with victory at home to Gloucester then they must be considered serious contenders.

Wealdstone have slipped nicely in fourth place and in perhaps the game of the day the Stones welcome freescoring Torquay United.

Dartford are back into the play-off places and will want to continue their climb when they head to Truro City.

Hampton won’t be distracted by a live FA Cup TV game with Oldham next month and Gary McCann will demand total focus at Hungerford.

Chelmsford City are much better on the road than they are at Melbourne but they’ve picked the wrong time to travel to Oxford City after they just put five goals Hemel Hempstead.

The Tudors, meanwhile, go Eastbourne Borough as they try to get over their midweek mauling.

Chippenham were heartbroken after they lost out on an FA Cup tie with Portsmouth - and a £75,000 broadcast fee.

They can ease the pain with a home win over John Coventry’s East Thurrock United.

Slough Town andSt Albans City meet at Clarence Park with either side knowing a win should be enough to lift the into the top seven.
