What's In Store In The National League North Tonight?

By Sam Elliott

We’ve got 18 teams and nine matches lined up for you in the Vanarama National League North this evening.

They include the surprise leaders against the surprise early season strugglers.

When Jamie Vermiglio took over at Chorley midway through a difficult summer he didn’t know quite what to expect.

The Magpies have forgotten Matt Jansen’s sudden departure and have fired themselves to an incredible three wins from three. Southport expected better than the rotten pointless start they have endured but may think the table could be about to turn tonight.

The game of the night comes from Edgar Street though, where second place Leamington face Hereford - both have an excellent seven-point return and either side could put down a marker later on.

Stockport County have eyes fixed on promotion. They will fancy adding to two good wins against FC United and Southport with victory at Edgeley Park when Guiseley visit.

Promoted Ashton United have made a solid start, despite letting two points drop from an excellent position at Kidderminster on Saturday.

Now they face York City, whose manager manager Martin Gray has called for more leadership from senior players after two early defeats set them back.

Alfreton Town face Curzon Ashton, and Josh Gowling could debut for the Reds after signing on loan from Torquay United.

There’s an exciting derby in prospect as Altrincham face an FC United who have already shipped 12 goals. The bad news for Tom Greaves’ side is that Alty average three goals a game.

Brackley need a response after a home humbling by Darlington. They face a tricky trip to AFC Telford who have yet to lose under new boss Gavin Cowan.

Nuneaton want their first win on the board ASAP but face a Boston United side full of confidence after their 3-0 win at FC United at the weekend.

Tuesday’s National League North fixtures:
AFC Telford v Brackley Town
Alfreton v Curzon Ashton
Altrincham v FC United
Ashton United v York City
Boston United v Nuneaton
Bradford (PA) v Spennymoor
Chorley v Southport
Hereford v Leamington
Stockport County v Guiseley
