PREVIEW | EASTER MONDAY

The Easter weekend continues

The Easter action continues on Bank Holiday Monday.

In the Premier South, leaders, Walton & Hersham will be looking to bounce back from their Good Friday defeat as they host Chertsey Town, who are still in the hunt for a play-off place.

Having beaten the leaders in their last game, Taunton Town, head to second-placed Gloucester City, who themselves had a 2-1 triumph at Hanwell Town in their last outing. Taunton are now two points behind Yate Town, who host Evesham United.

It’s a return to home action for Farnham Town as they welcome mid-table Bracknell Town, whilst Poole Town face a home derby with Wimborne Town as they look to strengthen their position in the top five.

Holding onto the final play-off place are Sholing, who go to Basingstoke Town, who are battling to move away from danger in the lower half of the table. Meanwhile Berkhamsted, who are a couple of points off the top five, take on a Hungerford Town outfit that sit one off the bottom of the table.

There’s a mouth-watering local derby at Weymouth where they face Dorchester Town, with both sides desperate for the points.

Elsewhere, one place separates Havant & Waterlooville and Gosport Borough as they go head-to-head, whilst Uxbridge, who are looking to secure a top ten berth, play host to Hanwell Town. Already-relegated Tiverton Town take on mid-table Plymouth Parkway.

Over in the Premier Central, leaders, Harborough Town, are at home to Banbury United, who sit in the middle of the table. Behind them in second place, Spalding United go to Barwell, who sit two places off the bottom of the table.

In third place, Real Bedford, are looking to bounce back from Good Friday defeat as they host mid-table Bishop’s Stortford. There’s a derby at Worcester City as they host Redditch United, who sit fourth, whilst Kettering Town, who hold on to the final play-off place, head to Stratford Town.

Just outside the play-off places, Quorn go to Stamford AFC, who need the points to avoid the drop, Halesowen Town face another opponent who need the points for different reasons as they go to local rivals, Bromsgrove Sporting, and Needham Market go to bottom club, AFC Sudbury.

Elsewhere, mid-table Leiston and Bury Town do battle, whilst Royston Town and St. Ives Town go head-to-head with precious points up for grabs as they look to escape the bottom four. It’s a similar story at Stourbridge as they take on neighbours, Alvechurch as both clubs aim to increase the gap between themselves and the relegation places.

Into Division One South where Frome Town could be celebrating not only breaking through the 100-point barrier, but also the title as they host play-off hopefuls, Shaftesbury.

Behind them, Malvern Town are at home to Worcestershire neighbours, Sporting Club Inkberrow, who have had a solid first season at this level. Portishead Town are at home to already-relegated Tavistock AFC.

In fourth place, Winchester City have home advantage against Bashley, who are one off the bottom, whilst Bishops Cleeve entertain Hartpury, whose defeat on Friday at the hands of Bideford AFC leaves them clinging by their finger-tips to getting into the top five.

Talking of Bideford AFC, they have a Devon derby against Exmouth Town, whilst Bristol Manor Farm are at home to Larkhall Athletic. There’s a Cornish derby at Falmouth Town as they look to secure local dragging rights against Mousehole AFC.

Melksham Town are one place above the drop zone, so they need to make home advantage count against Westbury United. One place below them, just inside the bottom four, Willand Rovers go to Brixham AFC, who are one place and one point below their Devon neighbours. Finally, Swindon Supermarine welcome Didcot Town.

Over in Division One Central, the leaders, Leighton Town, are on the road to Barton Rovers, who sit inside the top ten. Second-placed Hitchin Town go to Stotfold, whilst Biggleswade Town take on mid-table MK Irish, who have adapted well to the demands of this level following promotion at the end of last season.

Fourth-placed Biggleswade FC host seventh-placed Ware, as Thame United, who currently hold the final play-off spot, host Aylesbury United who still need to points to secure their survival.

Already-relegated AFC Dunstable entertain Leverstock Green, whilst Rayners Lane also have home advantage for the visit of Hadley. 12 points from safety are Northwood, who go to Beaconsfield Town and also in the bottom four are Enfield, who hit the road for London Lions.

Elsewhere, Flackwell Heath are at home to Marlow and as Hertford Town look to keep their play-off hopes alive, they know that they have to make home advantage count against Welwyn Garden City.
