Whitehawk currently lead the way in the Ryman Premier Division on a total of 28 points after 14 games. The Hawks only two defeats have come against Lowestoft Town at home (1-3) and Hampton and Richmond away (0-1).

Margate, Wealdstone and Bury Town follow with The Stones only defeat coming away from home at Lewes.

Early league leader's Hampton and Richmond Borough have dropped down to fifth place after three defeats in their last six games but are still well in contention as they are only four points off top spot with a game in hand over Margate and Whitehawk.

Bognor Regis Town (P 15 PTS 24), Concord Rangers (14/22), Cray Wanderers (14/21), Kingstonian (12/20) and Lowestoft Town (12/19) follow in 6th to 10th place.

The Trawlerboys, who were one of the pre-season favourites, have fallen down the standings after 4 defeats in their least six league games.

There is still lots of of football to play with Margate only playing one game against the rest of the current top five

FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT THE SEASON SO FAR

18 - Wealdstone (3rd) and Concord Rangers (7th) have scored the most goals at home.

14 - Whitehawk (1st) and Cray Wanderers (8th) have scored the most goals away from home.

57.14% was last season's champion's (Billericay Town) win percentage. Only Whitehawk and Wealdstone are level or above this figure.

24 - Enfield Town are currently joint third top-scorers with only Concord (27) and Whitehawk (29) above.

11 - Wealdstone have let in the least goals so far.

27 - Carshalton Athletic and Concord Rangers have the worst defensive records.

50% - Lewes are the draw specialists having drawn 8 of their 16 league games.

1 - Leiston and Hendon are currently the teams with the lowest amount of wins.

3 - Hendon & Hastings United are the lowest scorers on the road. Hendon's three goals coming in the one game against Enfield Town.

2 - Bognor Regis Town are the lowest scorers at home. Hitting the back of the new only twice in seven games.

845 - Lowestoft Town v Kingstonian on Saturday 13th October is the highest league crowd so far.

74 - Whitehawk v Wingate and Finchley on Saturday 6th October is the lowest league crowd so far.

637 - Lowestoft Town have the highest league average crowd so far.

126 - Whitehawk are bottom of the average crowd league so far.

1,603 - Division One (South) Maidstone United's average crowd is well above any across all three divisions. Their top crowd was 1,989 against Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday 13th October. It seems the move back to their home town at their new Gallagher Stadium  maybe the catalyst for promotion back to the Ryman Premier. They are currently second in the table with three games in hand over Hamlet who are currently two points ahead. Maidstone's average is close to League Two's Aldershot Town (1,990), Accrington Stanley (1,875), Morecambe (1,976)  and Dagenham & Redbridge (1,724).

Maidstone United and Hampton & Richmond Borough are the only teams left representing the Ryman League in The FA Trophy. United have a fantastic trip North in the second round where they travel to Blue Square North side FC Halifax. Hampton & Richmond still have to negotiate their tricky replay at Blue Square South Chelmsford City which was called off last night due to the waterlogged conditions. If The Beavers are lucky enough to get through they will travel to Blue Square Premier side Hereford United.

KEY GAMES COMING UP IN THE FORTHCOMING WEEKS

Saturday 1st December
Bognor Regis Town v Bury Town
Tough trip for Bury Town against The Rocks whom are currently in sixth place

Hampton & Richmond Borough v Margate
A real title/championship six pointer. A home win puts The Beavers one point ahead of Margate for whom a win would put them five points ahead of  H&R.

Saturday 8th December
Hampton & Richmond Borough v Bury Town
To stay in contention H&R will want to win at least one of their games versus Margate and Bury Town. Bury will be thinking the same from their trips to Bognor and H&R.

Lewes v Whitehawk
The big South-Coast derby. A short journey of around 9 miles separates The Enclosed Ground in East Brighton and The Dripping Pan. Could Lewes raise their game and spring a surprise on their big-spending neighbours?

Lowestoft Town v Wealdstone
The Trawler Boys have dropped down the table so this will be a must win for them to get back into contention. A repeat of last season's dramatic play-off semi-final which the home side won 2-1 in front of 1,158

Saturday 15th December
Wealdstone v Enfield Town
The big Middlesex derby which will evoke memories of the huge games between Enfield FC and The Stones when both sides were competing in the top division of the non-league game in the 1980s. Hopefully will attract a good crowd where the home side will be strong favourites but the Enfield Town squad will be well up for a competative game.

Whitehawk v Margate
Depending on results this could be 1st v 2nd or even 2nd v 1st. A really important game for both sides.

Saturday 22nd December
Lowestoft Town v Margate
If The Trawlerboys lose at home against Wealdstone this really will be a must win game for them.
