Nuneaton Town return to league action on Tuesday evening as they play Northampton ON Chenecks at The Oval.

The match comes just three days after a thrilling United Counties League Cup Quarter-Final against Grantham Town, which Nuneaton won 7-6 on penalties after a stoppage time goal for each side meant it finished 3-3 in normal time.

With only Lutterworth Town and Aylestone Park also in league action, it's a chance to open a massive 20 point gap to second placed March Town United, who opened the door with a defeat to bottom team Bugbrooke St Michael's on Saturday afternoon.

Northampton ON Chenecks, who's unusual name comes from the four houses of Northampton Grammar School, Chipseys, Spencer, Beckett and St Crispins, sit in 13th place in the league, with 10 wins, 4 draws and 14 defeats, and have lost 9 of their 15 away games including their last 6.

Their surprise home win over March Town United is their only one so far in 2026, and last played on Valentines Day in a 2-0 defeat at Eynesbury Rovers.

Can the Town make it 15 unbeaten and with a maximum of 6 more wins required go 3 points closer to the league title?

One to watch:

Lewis Irwin is their main goal threat with 18 goals for ON Chenecks this season.
