NPL preview | Saturday 19 August

Radcliffe - current league leaders courtesy of a superior 'goals scored' tally - host fellow Greater Manchester side Hyde United, who are still yet to pick up their first win of the season.

The two teams below the Boro are also on home soil, with second-placed Ilkeston Town and third-placed Macclesfield locking horns with Workington and Gainsborough Trinity respectively.

It will be a particularly tricky afternoon for the Silkmen, against a Trinity side who, despite having picked up just one point from a possible six so far, still possess a level of quality which saw them reach last season's play-off semi-finals.

Perhaps the game of the weekend, Marine host Whitby Town as both teams put their unbeaten records on the line.

The Seasiders have won their opening two matches, while Marine have taken four points from a possible six so far but come into the game full of confidence after thrashing FC United of Manchester 5-1 in midweek.

Meanwhile, Bamber Bridge welcome division newcomers Bradford Park Avenue to the Sir Tom Finney Stadium, with the visitors yet to pick up a point since their relegation from the National League North.

All fixtures will take place on Saturday 19 August at 3pm, unless stated otherwise.
