The Non League Premier: Southern league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. These two teams are placed 22nd and 15th respectively.

It's no vacation for neither Biggleswade Town nor St Ives Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
