We’re all raising a glass to better things ahead, and we’re already reaching a crucial stage.

Saturday sees most sides back take to the field - and the National League South and North swings back into action.

Derby games and Boxing Day revenge missions, it should be quite an afternoon!

The promotion races are heating up as it starts to get really cold, so what will the first January programme tell us?

Any of three sides could top the National League South on Saturday evening.

St Albans City, Dartford and outsiders Hungerford Town are in with a shout - with dangerous Dorking Wanderers lurking with intent.

Gloucester City will still be at the summit of the National League North whatever happens this weekend, but Paul Groves’ team have a demanding trip to Leamington to negotiate.
