Quakers hoping to climb to the top of the table

Looking for third straight win

Quakers could go top of the table tonight if they beat Alfreton at Blackwell Meadows, and current leaders Brackley lose at Southport.

They're looking for their third straight win after winning at Telford and Kidderminster last week, but they're up against a team that has the fifth best away record in the league this season.

Alun spoke about the Alfreton game in his post match interview last Saturday

And here's an interview with assistant manager Darren Holloway
