Top-of-the-table test for Spalding United and the the rest of the local non-league fixtures

There’s a huge game in the Northern Premier Midlands Division on Saturday as second-placed Spalding United visit leaders Halesowen Town.

The Tulips beat Sutton Coldfield 1-0 in their first game for three weeks last Saturday to remain within three points of Halesowen.

The Tulips also have a couple of games in hand so a draw wouldn’t be too big a disappointment for Brett Whaley’s men.

A draw would also suit third-placed Stamford AFC aho are level on points with Spalding, but have played one more game. The Daniels are at lowly Daventry tomorrow.

Yaxley seek to improve on their four-point tally for the season at mid-table Chasetown.

There’s a full programme of non-league matches tomorrow with United Counties Division One title chasers Bourne Town at struggling St Andrews.
