What's Happening In The National League South Tonight?

By Sam Elliott

The National League South title chase gets a rest tonight - but don’t think for one minute you should take your eyes off the action!

Havant & Waterlooville have to wait until Wednesday to try and go back to the top and put themselves in control on the final day by beating East Thurrock well.

Today’s biggest game though come at the other end as Poole Town plot their great escape.

Just a few days ago Tom Killick’s team were marooned eight points adrift and facing up to a Southern League return. How things have turned around.

If they beat already down Whitehawk at home and Hungerford lose to Concord Rangers then they will be out of the bottom three and in charge of their own destiny on the final day of the season.

It’s a critical day in the play-off race too and we will know a lot more by 9.45pm tonight.

Welling United
must win at home to Bath City or only a last day miracle will see them finish in the top seven. It’s over for the Wings if Jerry Gill’s men take three points at Park View Road.

Truro City will dislodge St Albans if they get a point or more at Weston-super-Mare - and it could be a really bad day for the Saints.

Ian Allinson’s side have badly lost their way in April and if Braintree Town win as well, they place Oxford City, then City will have it all to do on the final day.

The race for third place is intense and there could be another side sitting just before the title chasers later tonight.

If Chelmsford City beat Bognor Regis Town by two goals or more then they will climb above Hemel and Hampton in the battle to avoid the play-off eliminators.

The Clarets have won five of their last six National League South games while Bognor have lost nine of their last ten.

National League South fixtures:
Bognor Regis v Chelmsford City
Braintree Town v Oxford City
Concord Rangers v Hungerford Town
Poole Town v Whitehawk
Welling United v Bath City
Weston-super-Mare v Truro City
