THE CONTEXT

Wealdstone’s 3-2 away win over King’s Lynn Town saw them move temporarily into 6th position for the week, with Danny Parish grabbing a hat-trick on his full Stones debut. Altrincham earned their first National League win of the season with a 1-0 away win at Dover Athletic. Both sides were eliminated from the FA Cup the previous weekend, freeing up this Saturday to play a fixture that had originally been scheduled in February. The fixture will also be the visitor’s seventh successive away game.
