Team Of The Weekend: Varanama National League

By Sam Elliott

When the clubs at the top are unsaddled by those down the bottom, it makes the task of selection your Team of the Weekend that much more tougher.

Even after reading all the match reports! There’s so much to consider when piecing together a side who have performed the best for their clubs on Saturday.

There’s no room for error - and that’s why we make sure we take the best advice possible before announcing the squad of 16 plus the day’s best manager - even that was no simple task!

We pick the brains of club officials, managers and reporters around the grounds to make sure our team is as close to perfect as possible.

But as well all know football is a game of opinions - we rarely all agree!

So join the debate on twitter @TheNationalLge and let us know if you think we’ve missed someone special.

Manager of the Weekend: Andy Hessenthaler (Dover)

Imagine our dilemma. Strugglers Maidenhead win at title chasing Leyton Orient as strugglers Dover win at title chasers Salford City. Both are heroic. See our predicament? We’ve sided with Andy Hessenthaler, just. Dover scored three times, and came from behind. Sorry, Dev!
