National League North Preview

By Kai Welch

The Star Game in National League North sees Chorley head to County Durham where Spennymoor Town are the hosts.

Spennymoor Town v Chorley

This will be the second time these sides have played each other in the last four weeks after being drawn together in the FA Cup.

The Moors ran out 1-0 winners that afternoon thanks to a second half Isaac Fletcher strike.

Fletcher has been the man in form at Brewery Field this season, netting eight times in the league. Only Leamington’s Callum Stewart scoring more.

Graeme Lee’s side have enjoyed a strong run of form, not losing in the league since late August.

This has seen them push into the play-off positions, which they narrowly missed out on by goal difference last season.

Despite a defeat away at Alfreton Town last week, Andy Preece’s Chorley have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign, suffering only two league defeats.

The Magpies will be looking to close the gap on league leaders Scunthorpe United in what should be an enthralling encounter in the North East.
