Our Boxing Day fixture sees the visit of Chatham Town, two successive promotions and only missing out on a third last season in the playoff off final last season losing to Enfield Town. Clearly a force to be reckoned with and after a slow start to the season they have now started to run into form, currently sitting in 5th place on 31 points from 19 games. They visit Carshalton Athletic on Saturday having won their last four league games and are unbeaten in the league in their last eleven. Top goalscorer is Freddie Sears on 14. Former West Ham youth player Freddie went on to make more than 200 appearances in the football league for Ipswich Town.

With our own Freddie (Parker) fresh from a hat trick against Wingate & Finchley and on 15 goals for the season prior to the weekend it could be dubbed the battle of the Freddies up front. With Valley enjoying an excellent start to their first season in the Isthmian Premier it promises to be compelling viewing, hope to see you there!
