Tonight we have the opportunity to go top of the League once again.
No walkover this though. Horsham could prove to be a tough nut to crack on their home turf.
But I still think we have the desire, skills and grit to pick up the 3 points.
See you later!

Horsham 1 Faversham Town 2 (Grant 11, Maxted 70).
Another great result!
Not at our best tonight but found a way to get the victory and we are now top for another few days, at least.
A very Merry Christmas indeed!
To the match:
We again concede early.
A long throw is allowed to reach the back post and a Horsham striker finds the net - not the start we had in mind.
But, we fight back and level on 11 minutes.
Dean Grant manages to turn past his man and finds the bottom corner!
So, half-time and it's 1-1.
At this stage, Horsham looked better than their League position suggested and few complain with the scoreline at the break.
However, it is virtually all us in the second period!
Bourney has a shot cleared off the line from a corner, handball appeals are turned down, as Botts tries to shoot with the rebound on the 52nd minute.
Robertson plays in Harris, who is denied by another fine stop from the Horsham keeper on 56 minutes.
But, on 69, great play by Maxted and he bursts into the penalty box. He is fouled by a defender - penalty!
The Horsham defender was also given a red card, presumably for being last man, it did look a little harsh because Maxted had taken the ball quite wide.
Anyway, Willo steps up to take the penalty - surely only one outcome.
Well, no! Their goalkeeper is having an excellent game and makes a marvellous save from the spot-kick.
However, from that corner, Horsham's luck runs out.
Willo's corner is allowed to bounce around in the penalty area and Maxted is on hand to score!
Despite now being a goal down, Horsham still are really struggling to create any attacks of note - let alone chances.
Grant hits the post, Maxted meets another Wilson corner, only to be denied this time by the keeper's fingertips and Harris has a shot cleared off the line by a defender.
In stoppage-time, Harris again has another great chance - this time, the keeper makes yet another save to deny him!
Horsham get a corner right at the end but Botts heads it away and we hold out.
Did I mention we are top of the League after that result!?
FAV Army!
