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

By Sam Elliott

First it was the FA Trophy fixtures reducing Saturday’s National League programme, then it was the snow!

With the road to Wembley hopefully having a clear pathway for some as we battle the elements, the weather means we’re already down to just three games this weekend.

But despite only having a handful of matches taking place, one involves a title chaser.

Wrexham at last found their goal touch last weekend as they ended their thaw with a narrow win over Maidenhead.

If the Red Dragons’ melt Boreham Wood in Hertfordshire, then they will move up into second just a point behind the leaders.

Luke Garrard will have a lot to say about that, but a Wrexham win would then mean the top four would be separated by just three points.

There could be big reward if two teams fighting for their lives down the bottom manage to get their games on.

Dover Athletic are due to welcome Gateshead - and they are sitting three points above the drop zone.

Maidenhead United are just one place outside the bottom four and Alan Devonshire said this week that it will go down to the wire.

If they win at home to Dagenham & Redbridge things will look a lot brighter.

But Peter Taylor’s Daggers have only lost twice since the first week of November and a win will take them into the top half.

On Friday morning, Ebbsfleet’s game with Hartlepool was postponed.

Saturday’s National League fixtures:
Boreham Wood v Wrexham
Dover Athletic v Gateshead
Maidenhead v Dagenham
