What's Ahead In The National League This Evening

By Sam Elliott

The final Tuesday night of Vanarama National League action this season is a big one for one club in particular.

Three points for Eastleigh this evening will put their top seven destiny in their own hands ahead of the final day.

Ben Strevens takes his team to Altrincham and his message is simple: more of the same, please.

The Spitfires have won six of their last seven matches to fire themselves into the face of the promotion race fire.

A win on Tuesday takes them into the promotion places, with James Rowe’s Chesterfield potentially pushed out if they leave Manchester with maximum reward.

That would mean a win on the last day at Solihull would earn a play-off place - but Strevens knows they have a tough night ahead.

He said: “We know what we’ve got to do and that’s keep on producing performances but we’ll have to be at our best.”

Solihull Moors are hoping to head into that last day meeting with six wins from six.

They go to King’s Lynn Town wanting to keep the late-season feel-good factor going.

Their late surge may not have been enough to join the promotion race but Mark Yates says he wants two more victories.

Lynn perhaps just want the season to end, taking just two points from a possible thirty they at least hope to give their returning fans something to smile about.

Barnet boss Simon Bassey felt his team were unlucky not to defeat Torquay United on Saturday.

Now they host Maidenhead United hoping for a second win in eight matches.

Alan Devonshire’s Magpies are five unbeaten away from home and that run includes stunning wins at Hartlepool United and Wealdstone, plus an excellent draw at Stockport County.
