Six Teams Vie for National League South Title on Final Day

The National League South is experiencing one of the most dramatic and competitive title races in English football, with six teams—Truro City, Torquay United, Eastbourne Borough, Worthing, Boreham Wood, and Dorking Wanderers—all in contention for the championship and the sole automatic promotion spot on the final day. Truro City currently leads the table, but only by goal difference over Torquay, while the remaining four teams are within three points, making the outcome highly unpredictable. None of the top six teams face each other in the last round, so each must rely on both their own performance and other results to secure the title. Managers and players across the clubs have acknowledged the excitement and pressure, with some teams, like Truro, aiming to make history as the first Cornish side in the fifth tier. The competitiveness of the National League South this season is being widely praised, especially as top-tier leagues have often lacked such close, multi-team races. Off the pitch, clubs like Dorking Wanderers are also addressing fan behavior amid the heightened tension of the title run-in.
