Hampton and Richmond begin the post-Gary McCann era on the road against Hemel Hempstead in National League South. 

McCann's four-and-a-half-year stint in charge of the Beavers came to an end after the New Year's Day draw against Worthing and only outside the relegation places on goal difference. 

Hemel are not fairing too much better, just four points up the road in 16th and with just one win in their last eight league matches. 

Kick-off at Vauxhall Road is at 3pm on Saturday. 

Hanwell will be hoping to record their first win of 2023 as they travel away from home to take on Tiverton Town in the Southern League Premier South. 

The Geordies began the new year with a 1-1 draw against Beaconsfield Town, but they have still not managed to arrest the slide they have been on since tasting victory against Gosport Borough in mid-October, with just one league win since. 

Tiverton are three places above them in the table, but are having similar struggles having only won one game in their last five in the league. 

Kick-off at Ladysmead is at 3pm on Saturday. 

Kingstonian will be desperate to record the first victory of the Spencer Knight era as they play away against Enfield Town. 

The K's have not won for seven games and they only managed to draw one of those and defeat against rivals Corinthian Casuals last time out, who are now one point behind them on the other side on the dotted line, puts them in a precarious position in the Isthmian League Premier Division. 

Their hosts in Enfield have won their last two matches scoring six goals and are on a run of six wins in eight heading into this weekend. 

Kick-off at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium is at 3pm on Saturday. 

Hanworth Villa will be hoping their start to 2023 continues as they play their first home match of the new year against Uxbridge. 

The Villains started 2023 in style on Monday as they put four past Northwood away from home to get their first win for four games. 

Uxbridge have hit a sticky patch of form of late as they have lost their last four games in all competitions and their last win came on 23rd November. 

Kick-off at Rectory Meadow is at 3pm on Saturday.
