There's Another Big Night Of National League Action Ahead!

The temperature is dropping but the heat is already on at both ends in all three divisions.

We’re scheduled to see two games in the National League – should Mother Nature be on our side, that is.

Two promotion contenders are scheduled to meet as FC Halifax Town welcome Hartlepool United to the Shay.

Dover Athletic need matches – and they really need to get some points on the board.

The Whites face Boreham Wood tonight and a home win brings them level on points with Barnet and Weymouth.

But Manager of the Month Luke Garrard is aiming for a fifth league win on the spin and three points takes them into the play-off places.

The FA Cup is put to one side on Tuesday night for Chorley.

The National League North comes back into focus after their weekend heroics, and the fourth round stars welcome Leamington.

Farsley will move to within one place of the play-offs if they manage to see off Darlington.

There’s plenty of National League South action to look forward to.

We could potentially have new leaders, but St Albans City will have to win by five goals at bottom side Welling United if they are to have any hope of reclaiming top spot.

Dartford know any type of victory puts them ahead of table toppers Dorking Wanderers. They won’t have it all their own way against Billericay Town, led by new manager Kevin Watson for the first time.

Eastbourne are eighth and Maidstone United ninth - so their meeting at Priory Lane is certainly significant.

Ebbsfleet haven’t scored in five matches and need to restore confidence by beating Concord Rangers, who have taken seven points from a possible nine.

Braintree Town beat then leaders Dartford at the weekend and they are setting their sights on Oxford City tonight.

Tonbridge and Chippenham aren’t showing any signs of a struggle this season and three points for either at Longmead will keep them looking up.
