Back to the League this weekend, here's a preview written by Sam Elliott
The Enterprise National League North wait is nearly over - so where did we leave things nearly a fortnight ago?
South Shields were at the summit and predictably, they featured heavily in Thursday’s awards announcement.
But the leaders have a revenge mission to contend with tomorrow and Chorley arrived after a 4-1 pasting in the FA Cup last weekend.
But Andy Preece’s side are third and have won their last two in the league. It’s a big early season battle!
Scarborough Athletic sit second, so it wasn’t a surprise to see Jonathan Greening in the final four for Manager of the Month.
The Seadogs haven’t got an easy weekend in store and go to managerless King's Lynn Town, who sit just outside the play-off places.
AFC Fylde were hit with abandonment issues last time out. A trip to AFC Telford is next with Craig Mahon keen to close the gap but he knows his team are top of the six-game form guide.
Spennymoor Town had a sparkling September. They host a Southport side who didn’t - they have lost five of their last six league matches.
There’s a big reunion as Phil Brown and Peterborough Sports aim to put one over his old Kidderminster Harriers.
Adam Murray’s men may not have been too convincing of late but they are on a five-game undefeated run - and Sports sit bottom.
Chester’s home match against Merthyr Town is sure to be spicy with no love lost between Leamington and Hereford, either.
Radcliffe are proving to be one of the division’s great entertainers. Alfreton Town stand in their way on Saturday.
Macclesfield and Marine have history after they slayed the Silkmen in the Northern Premier League play-off final in 2024. They meet for the first time since that moment tomorrow.
Worksop Town and Bedford Town both went up and while the Eagles have suffered, the Tigers will be content with 11 points from nine matches. Who will come out on top in this one?
Oxford City plan to escape the bottom four by beating Curzon Ashton, who need to start winning with regularity after a lukewarm first two months.
Elsewhere Buxton welcome Darlington and there’s only a point between the teams.
