What's Ahead In The National League This Evening?

By Sam Elliott

It’s Torquay United’s turn to steal focus tonight in the title race you just can’t take your eyes off as ten teams go into battle.

After sitting out Saturday’s action, they are the only championship chasers lacing up their boots in midweek.

Torquay will move level of points with second-place Sutton United if they leave Woking with maximum reward.

Victory for Gary Johnson’s side will take them a point behind leaders Hartlepool United, and they will have two games in hand.

But of course the Gulls and Woking have history - they were massive National League South title rivals two years ago.

The race for the play-offs is just as fascinating

Chesterfield and FC Halifax Town sit just inside the top seven, and whoever comes out on top when the teams meet tonight will really fancy their chances.

The Spireites, though, have to overcome Saturday’s double blow of losing at home to Bromley after the news key frontman Akwasi Asante is out long term.

Aldershot fans will probably accept they need to beat King’s Lynn Town if they are to keep their promotion dream alive.

Defeat at Barnet at the weekend was a big set-back for Danny Searle’s side and the Shots need to fire another response.

Boreham Wood supporters are probably thinking the same - three points are crucial this evening.

They welcome a Barnet side who have new life breathed into them since Simon Bassey and Dave Anderson agreed to oversee things at The Hive.

Meanwhile, Wealdstone and Maidenhead United may not appear to have too much to play for but both managers are desperate to make every game count from now until the end of the season.
