Tonight's National League North And South Big Preview

After Worthing, pictured, turned things around at Aveley last night to move four points clear, the South chasing pack know they need to keep winning.

It’s a demanding prospect for long-term leaders Dorking Wanderers, who travel to a Maidstone United side that have won six from eight at the Gallagher Stadium.

Also sitting on 70 points are Truro City, and they’re on the road too with a trip to Chippenham Town the Tinners’ Tuesday assignment.

Torquay United’s home form has kept them in touch and now they’re winning away things are looking more positive. Salisbury visit Plainmoor this evening.

Boreham Wood are fifth but can still see the summit. A win at Farnborough will send out a message they’re not going anywhere.

It’s an important night at the bottom too as Enfield Town - just above the drop-zone - get a visit from Hampton & RB while Weymouth know they must beat Weston-super-Mare.

Elsewhere, Bath City face Slough Town and Chesham United welcome Tonbridge Angels.

Things couldn’t be much tighter in the National League North and fans are buckling themselves in for the ride.

Brackley Town took over at the top of Saturday and Gavin Cowan says they face a “really strong” King’s Lynn Town side later on.

Chester aren’t winning with regularity anymore and supporters of the Seals know how important it is that Warrington Town are dispatched tonight.

Are second place Scunthorpe United now the title favourites? They’ll look to prove that at Alfreton Town.

Chorley are six-points shy of first place but have momentum. They’re in for a challenging evening at fellow promotion hunters Curzon Ashton.

Buxton proved they want a play-off place by hitting Oxford City for seven on Saturday. It’s Spennymoor Town this evening as Hereford - in the top seven - go to Rushall Olympic.

Leamington stand in Kidderminster Harriers’ way of three points for their promotion push.

There’s plenty of other important games too as Marine and Southport play a derby match. Darlington take on Radcliffe, Peterborough Sports get a visit from South Shields and Scarborough host Needham Market.
