Something For The Weekend: Vanarama National League North

Saturday will decide who makes the final play-off spot and positions for the semi-finals.

The relegation issues have already been settled, so for many it can be an afternoon to enjoy the game, hopefully in the sun!

Kidderminster Harriers v Bradford Park Avenue

Depending upon the outcome of Spennymoor Town`s game in hand against already-relegated North Ferriby United tonight, Avenue may start Saturday`s game outside the top seven and needing a win to have a chance of making the play-offs.

Whatever the outcome, Mark Bower has done a terrific job at the Horsfall Stadium, putting a positive chapter on his CV following his dismissal by Guiseley AFC in August 2016, and he will be hoping to finish the campaign with a fifth successive win.

Last weekend saw Avenue win the Yorkshire derby against second-placed Harrogate Town and Bower will be hoping Saturday`s game isn`t the last of the season for his team.

Spennymoor Town v Southport

It`s been a really tough last few weeks for Jason Ainsley`s Spennymoor side, who will complete a hugely-tiring ten-game sequence in the month of April with Saturday`s visit of Southport to the Brewery Field.

As mentioned above, victory in tonight`s game against North Ferriby, also at home, could see Moors back in the play-off places and maybe only needing a point from the game against a Port side who dusted off any thoughts of a last-day scrap against the drop with a 4-2 win in the north-east at Darlington last night.

Nuneaton Town v Blyth Spartans

Depending upon tonight`s result, Blyth Spartans could still go into Saturday`s game at Nuneaton Town with an outside chance of slipping into the top seven.

Blyth completed a run of four home games in a week with a 2-1 win over Curzon Ashton on Tuesday night and travel to a Boro side who shared a 1-1 draw with Boston United last night to end the Pilgrims` hopes of going into the play-offs through the back door.

Boston United v AFC Telford United
Brackley Town v York City
Chorley v Alfreton Town
FC United of Manchester v North Ferriby United
Gainsborough Trinity v Tamworth
Harrogate Town v Curzon Ashton
