Below we’ve got a rundown of where to catch a game this weekend

National League North

If fans want to take in Chorley’s game on Saturday they will have to travel with the Magpies making the trip to third-placed Kidderminster Harriers in what is a real top of the table clash. After a flying start to the season Jamie Vermiglio’s side are second, but just one point behind Bradford Park Avenue with two games in hand. They then have the small matter of their FA Cup first round replay at Doncaster Rovers to come on Tuesday night. Struggling Southport are also on the road in the National League North, when they visit Boston United.

NPL Premier Division

Both Bamber Bridge and Lancaster City are at home on Saturday. Mick Taylor’s Brig will look to get themselves back to winning ways in the league when they welcome Nantwich Town to the Sir Tom Finney Stadium. While Brig have enjoyed cup wins of late, their last league victory came more than a month ago against North Ferriby United. The Dolly Blues, looking to continue their climb away from the relegation zone, go for a third home win in seven days when Stafford Rangers visit Giant Axe.
