What's In Store In The National League North On Saturday?

By Tom Scott

We're nearing the halfway stage of the season and the table is taking shape.

The game of the week has to be at Aggborough where Kidderminster Harriers boss Neil MacFarlane wants them to forget their recent blip to claim top spot.

It won't be easy - Chorley are in town looking to show everyone that they are still the top dogs in the North.

Jim Gannon's Stockport County look unstoppable at the minute. Not even League Two Yeovil Town were a match for them last week.

Brackley Town travel to the North West no doubt full of belief after their superb run of form.

FC United of Manchester
will more than fancy themselves against promotion chasing AFC Telford United.

Marc Richards has urged Hereford fans to 'stick with it' during their barren spell.

It goes without saying that they desperately need a win against Darlington.

Southport are a team on the rise and face a tough trip to a Boston United side looking to reignite their play-off hunt.

Elsewhere, Guiseley host Spennymoor Town and Curzon Ashton travel to Blyth Spartans.

Chester are ahead of schedule according to joint-manager Anthony Johnson and they travel to Leamington whose season has unravelled in recent weeks.

Bradford (Park Avenue) currently sit top of the pile and will be looking to cement their position against Ashton United.

Sam Collins thinks York City can go on another run of good form but they will have a hard time against Phil Parkinson's Altrincham side.

Alfreton Town
host a Nuneaton Borough who make the trip up the A38 full of confidence after their recent good fortune off the pitch.
