National League South: Your New Year's Day Preview

After Yeovil Town romped to the title last season, it seems we have got a much tighter contest this time around.

It’s another West County side out in front heading into 2025, Torquay United boasting a one point advantage at the top.

But they’ve got company - and while opponents Truro City may be fourth, they are just two points behind.

Boreham Wood are unbeaten in ten and have won six from eight. Kwesi Appiah can’t stop scoring at Luke Garrard’s second place side have a visit from Slough Town next.

Wood are playing well - but they’re not in as good a form as Maidstone United.

Undefeated since the first week of September, George Elokobi will back his team to beat Welling United on Wednesday.

The Wings are just above the drop zone, but have an eight point cushion. Those in the bottom four must start winning.

Two of the bottom four meet both desperate for the points as St Albans City face Enfield Town.

Aveley head to Chelmsford City as bottom side Weymouth look to build on a great fightback against Torquay with a win Salisbury.

There’s a spicy south coast collision with precious play-off points the temptation when Worthing welcome Eastbourne Borough.

Elsewhere Dorking head to Hampton & RB, Bath City want to build on their better recent results at Farnborough as Hornchurch host Tonbridge.

In the other games, Chippenham take on Weston-super-Mare and it’s a home game for Chesham United who take on Hemel Hempstead.
