Points As Well As FA Trophy Progress On The Line Tonight

After the weekend chill the forecast is for action under the lights as the games come thick and fast at the start of 2025.

After defeat to Hartlepool United on New Year’s Day, Oldham Athletic know there’s little room for error if the want to go on and win the Vanarama National League.

It was their first defeat in nine on the road - and they need to get back in the saddle when they head to Eastleigh and close the gap at the top back up to six points.

It’s the only game of the night in the division, but there’s focus down the bottom of the National League South when Welling United host Weymouth.

The Terras will move off the bottom of the table with a win at Park View Road but the Wings know three home points comes with huge reward: it makes things tricky for all the sides in the bottom four.

That is because the gap between them strugglers and Welling - the team sitting just outside the bottom four - is already six points.

There's National League Cup action coming too. Group D continues as Ebbsfleet United look for a boost at home to West Ham United.

The FA Trophy draw will hopefully be complete by tomorrow tonight with three of the four outstanding ties scheduled this evening.

Woking want to win the competition for a record fourth time, and Radcliffe stand in their way of a trip to Gainsborough Trinity in early February.

After Sutton United’s home game with Tamworth was postponed on Saturday, they now try again with a trip to Kidderminster Harriers in three weeks’ time the prize for the winner.

Biggleswade and Oxford City face off, Forest Green await for one of the teams, while on Wednesday Rochdale meet Stockton Town with Worthing watching on with interest.
