NL's Sam Elliott previews this weekend in the National North League:
It’s wall-to-wall Enterprise National League North football for the next four days, so let’s take a look at the first instalment.
A marathon weekend begins on Friday night with three fixtures - and they are all eye-catching.
Strong starters Oxford City will top the table if they beat Buxton later on.
Morecambe manager Adam Lakeland wants more from his players after their poor beginning. The Shrimps are bottom with just a point but he has challenged his team to kick start the campaign with victory over AFC Telford United.
Harborough Town’s powerful first few weeks already has them in a promotion place. An away win Hednesford could see them jump to second.
The bulk of the weekend programme takes place on Saturday.
Chester manager Phil Parkinson called his team “perfect” on Saturday - but they face their biggest test yet tomorrow with Hereford much improved on last year, winning their last three.
Hebburn Town are third and see now reason why they can’t push for another promotion. What will King's Lynn Town do to their dreams?
Title hopefuls Macclesfield fans are also pleased with their ten point return from four matches. A trip to Darlington is never easy - but James Gale’s double back in March is still fresh in Silkmen minds.
South Shields have the same record with Andy Whing’s Brackley Town lying in wait on Saturday,
Managerless Radcliffe are up and running after a change but have they got enough to win at Marine after adding to Morecambe’s woes?
Scarborough Athletic and Southport will be neither unhappy or totally satisfies by their starts to the new campaign but the winner of this one will have reason for optimism.
Elsewhere, Bedford Town battle Spennymoor Town, Merthyr meet Chorley and Spalding United host Worksop Town, who want a top seven place.
