It's the big one on Saturday afternoon as leaders Nuneaton Town travel to 2nd placed March Town United. The two teams have pulled away from the rest of the pack in recent weeks, and this game could have a huge bearing on who wins the United Counties Premier South title in April.

With the away game at Oadby postponed in midweek Nuneaton were denied a chance to extend their lead at the top to 8 points, but they have the chance again at the expense of their rivals, as Nuneaton look for a 6th straight league win, whilst March's great form, that got them to within a goal of Nuneaton at the top of the table at Christmas, has started to falter in the last couple of games.

Last time out Sahel Yessen scored and got two assists as the pacey wide man exerted a positive influence on the side again, and will aim to do so one final time before he returns to Michigan to continue his scholarship. Eesa Sawyers scored in less than a minute before three second half goals including Yessen's resulted in a 4-0 win over Newport Pagnell Town. March on the other hand lost 2-1 at the Butt's arena to Coventry United with former Nuneaton man Cody Mullan scoring the winner - Coventry United had only lost 2-1 at Nuneaton the week before.

March sit in that 2nd place on 15 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats, totalling 49 points, 5 points behind Nuneaton having played one game more. Wingers Flo Tsaguim and Rio Henson are March's dangermen with centre forward Toby Allen providing a good chunk of additional goals.

If the weather holds off, its due to be a blockbuster in Cambridgeshire, and the Town need your support in numbers!
