The freezing cold is here but the National League North and South are seriously starting to warm up!

The heat is on and the leaders can feel the warm breath of the chasing pack on their necks already.

Dartford returned to the South’s summit on Tuesday and it will stay that way if they win at bottom club Braintree Town.

But St Albans City and Dorking Wanderers will be ready to pounce if they slip up – both are at home and will fancy their chances of three points.

North leaders Gloucester City need to get back on track but they face title rivals Kidderminster in a huge January match.

It’s not the only mega meeting as Boston United face York City, while Bradford PA have their work cut out against in-form Chester.
