National League:
Lincoln City became the first Non-League side in 103 years to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, while Danny Cowley still finds his team holding a three-point lead at the top of the table, with two games in hand over nearest rivals Dagenham & Redbridge. With neither team in league action until Tuesday, there is an opportunity for the likes of Forest Green and Dover Athletic to gain ground on the pace setters this weekend, with Tranmere Rovers also in FA Trophy action.
Forest Green welcome struggling Woking to the New Lawn, with both teams desperate for a positive result for contrasting reasons. Three points for Mark Cooper’s team would see them move above Tranmere, while the Cardinals find themselves just a point above the relegation zone going into the fixture. Dover will also be confident of extending their three-game unbeaten run against mid-table Eastleigh, with the away side having lost four of their last four league outings. Having failed to find the net against bottom side North Ferriby last time out, the division’s top scorer Ricky Miller will be looking to return to the scoresheet.
Elsewhere, the likes of Aldershot, Solihull Moors and Guiseley will be looking to build upon wins last week on home turf on Saturday, with Southport and York City getting desperate in their bid to survive relegation.

National League North:
Kidderminster were the only team in the top six of the table who lost last weekend, with AFC Fylde continuing their title push with a comfortable win at Brackley, while nothing separates Salford and Kidderminster in second and third after the Class of 92 backed team narrowly overcame lowly Stalybridge Celtic. With the top four teams in the standings looking ahead to home games this weekend, the National League North could well have a familiar feel to it on Saturday evening.
Fylde look to consolidate their ten-point lead against play-off hopefuls Tamworth, while Salford take on a Telford side who are still not completely safe in the battle for relegation. Kidderminster’s encounter with Stockport County is perhaps the tie of the weekend, John Eustace’s side looking to recover from defeat last time out against the visitors who are unbeaten in their last 12 league matches themselves.
Worcester City, Gainsborough Trinity and Bradford Park Avenue all face huge fixtures this weekend, as the trio look to pick up valuable points in the coming weeks in order to aid their survival pushes.

National League South:
Maidenhead leapfrogged Ebbsfleet at the top of the National League South table in midweek thanks to a comeback win over Eastbourne Borough, in what was a mixed round of action for those at the top of the standings. There is a full round of fixtures this Saturday, with the form team in the division, Poole Town, looking to aid their promotion push at an improving East Thurrock.
Elsewhere, table toppers Maidenhead and Ebbsfleet face tricky looking away ties against Hungerford Town and Bath City respectively, with just two points separating the duo. Meanwhile, with none of the bottom five-placed teams in the table picking up three points in the last round of action, the likes of Whitehawk and Gosport Borough are in desperate need of positive results. With Whitehawk taking on the all-but-relegated Margate, it is the perfect opportunity for Andy Woodman’s team to claim their first win in 14 games, and just their seventh of the entire season.
