Unibet's National League North And South Preview

By Sam Elliott

The countdown is on in the National League North and South - and the second leg of the Easter double bill should produce some promotion clues.

All the title chasers are in action and the play-off hunters lace up their boots too for part two of the Bank Holiday bonanza.

Here’s what’s in store and what it all means with a National League place tantalisingly close.

Brackley Town vs Boston United - National League North

Brackley can very much consider themselves warned after Gateshead’s six-goal salvo at the weekend.

But while the Saints lost top spot, they are hoping the title race is won on substance - and not just free-scoring style.

The hard working Northants side are the country’s home kings and have won eight in a row at at St James Park. They have won the last four of them 1-0 and in their last 13 games have incredibly let in just two goals home and away.

But Boston have their own agenda and as custodians of the final play-off spot, the Pilgrims needs to keep Kettering, Southport, Darlington and Hereford at arms’ length.

Dartford vs Maidstone United - National League North South

First go to third for a Kent derby and there is so much riding on the big game.

Maidstone United know four more wins from their last five matches and there will be no stopping them.

But this is by far their biggest test of the remaining matches, and if they can win for a sixth game running then the countdown will really be on.

But Dartford - the one time leaders of course - won’t want them to take a giant step towards promotion on their pitch.

Steve King’s team are on a high after Good Friday’s straight-forward win at Billericay Town.

The Darts may no longer be in title contention but their manager requires a top three finishing, in the process securing home advantage in the play-offs.

Although they have draw their last two at Princes Park, the club won each of their five before that - and beat the other title chasers Dorking last month.

The back-in-form second place side are at Welling United on Monday and both will be keeping in touch with what’s happening down the road from one another.
