What’s On Offer On Monday: National League North

Second place Harrogate Town are another side who saw an impressive unbeaten run at home end recently, they will look to put things right against a team who in recent weeks have left the play-off places due to a three game losing run in Blyth Spartans, writes Tom Feaheny.

These last few weeks were always going to be key for Simon Weaver's side as they next have a Yorkshire derby as well, while Blyth are just two points off seventh so know getting back to form is vital to them finishing in the play-off places.

Fifth takes on third as Kidderminster Harriers and Brackley Town face off, the Harriers have won one, drawn one and lost one in their last three games but will be disappointed to have conceded two late goals in recent games that stopped them gaining more points and a stronger claim to a play-off place.

Kevin Wilkin's side have had a good few weeks extending their home unbeaten run to past a year and reaching the Buildbase FA Trophy final as well.

Chorley and Bradford Park Avenue would both be put in the pushing for the play-off category, although for both it looks unlikely a win in this one could give them a bit more hope of doing so.

Just a point separates the sides ahead of kick-off though Matt Jansen's team who are a point ahead also have two games in hand.

Nuneaton Town's new manager Gary Charles saw his side draw on Good Friday while Boston United gained a late victory, a point and place separates the two teams, with the need for a few more points gained to ensure safety still there for both.

To show how tough this league is to call when it comes to the relegation places, just nine points separate the last team in the drop zone with 11th.
