Full Conference Programme on Saturday

There is a full Conference programme of eleven games on Saturday. Hereford United are at home to Morecambe for which there will be a full review tomorrow morning.

Most of the fixtures contain at least one of the clubs looking for a play-off place or even aimimg to challenge Barnet at the top.

The Bees travel to Leigh, who prop up the league, and after being defeated at York last Tuesday should take all three points. However the railwaymen are fighting for their lives and did win at Farnborough last Saturday.

Second place Crawley entertain fifth place Halifax who could only draw with Northwich last weekend. Crawley have lost just once at home so far this season and would be expected to win this contest.

Third place Aldershot have a local derby against Farnborough and should take all three points. The Shots defeated Exeter in midweek.

Fourth place Accrington Stanley also look to have a winnable game at home to Forest Green. However the Stanley manager, John Coleman, was the manager of the month for February and that isn't always a good omen for the next game or two.

Woking, who are lying sixth, travel to Northwich. The Cheshire side are just above the drop places but did snatch a point at Halifax last Saturday whereas Woking defeated Carlisle in a Trophy game. Both sides have drawn a far proportion of their games, so Woking may come away with just one point.

Pick of the matches, other than at Edgar Street, could be at Stevenage where Carlisle are the visitors. Neither team are on top form recently. Stevenage lost at home last Tuesday to Morecambe by the only goal of the game, and Carlisle hasn't found much form since New Year. Another possible draw.

Exeter have to make the long trip to York. The Grecians won their Trophy game last Saturday but lost to the Shots on Tuesday whereas York, perhaps surprisingly defeated, Barnet. It would help the Bulls if the Yorkshire men could take all three points but that could be a tall order.
