All The Action From A Busy National League Afternoon

By Sam Elliott

Things remain tight at the top of the table but not all the challengers took three points.

Barnet stay at the summit and boast a two-point advantage after a composed 2-0 win against AFC Fylde.

A fifth win in a row was secured by goals from Nicke Kabamba and Callum Stead as fans enjoyed football for a fiver - and three more home points.

Forest Green added to Hartlepool United’s woes thanks to Charlie McCann but the game between promotion candidates York City and Eastleigh ended goalless.

Watch out for Oldham. Otis Khan scored five minutes from time to secure a 2-1 victory over National League bottom side Ebbsfleet United, minutes after Dom Poleon thought he had salvaged a draw.

Sutton United continue applying the pressure. Early goals from Lewis Simper Jeremy Sivi was ultimately enough for a win at Woking, who made a game off through Tom Leahy.

Ben Radcliffe got another goal as Gateshead left Southend United with an impressive 3-1 victory.

Rochdale are fourth, yet another important Kairo Mitchell goal was enough to shoot down Braintree Town.

Altrincham manager Phil Parkinson told fans to keep trusting him - and a 2-1 win at Tamworth has the Robins looking up. They survived a Tom Crawford red card to win 2-1, Justin Amaluzor got what turned out to be the winning goal.

Ciaran McGuckin earned Yeovil Town a point at home to Aldershot, 1-1 it ended at Huish Park.

Tom Pugh broke Wealdstone hearts as FC Halifax Town battled back to claim a 2-2 draw with a Stones side who ended an ill-tempered game with nine men.

Maidenhead United are upwardly mobile and won their big game at Boston United, a battle of two sides in the bottom four. Reece Smith struck what turned out to be the winner.

Jack Stevens’ goal was enough for Solihull Moors to snatch a 1-1 at Dagenham, who went ahead through Harry Phipps.
