Big Wins Secured On An Afternoon Of Massive Matches

By Sam Elliott

It was a day of big matches for a variety of reasons and as ever, the action didn’t disappoint.

Wrexham have a three point lead as they came out on top in a day of tough away games for the challengers - and Notts County didn’t.

Two quick-fire Paul Mullin goals did the business at Bromley, while the Magpies had to settle for a draw at Barnet.

They led through Macaulay Langstaff but Idris Kanu three minutes into first half time added on made it a frustrating afternoon as Notts try to chase down the Dragons.

In the live BT Sport game, Chesterfield enhanced their top three chances by beating Woking thanks to a first half Ollie Banks penalty.

Eastleigh are a team neither of them will fancy in the play-offs - a Christian Maghoma goal eventually got the better of Altrincham.

Boreham Wood suffered their first defeat of 2023 as Solihull Moors’ resurgence continues, Mark Beck and Josh Kelly on target.

There was a huge game down the bottom and while a point suits neither, Torquay United left with a draw as Kieron Evans levelled after Marcus Dinanga opened the scoring for Gateshead.

Cameron Wilson scored twice as Scunthorpe, pictured, threw themselves a survival lifeline with a handsome 4-1 home win against Wealdstone.

Southend suffered a fourth straight defeat as Aldershot Town came from behind at Roots Hall, Joe Partington got the winner.

It ended 1-1 as Dagenham and Oldham drew and it was the same story as Malachi Linton earned Yeovil Town at late point at FC Halifax Town.

Ryan Fallowfield keeps scoring for York, they defeated Dorking, while Emile Acquah’s double did for doomed Maidstone United as Maidenhead storm well away from trouble.

There looks to be no stopping Ebbsfleet United in the National League South - and there’s certainly no keeping Dom Poleon in check.

He scored all four as the Fleet stormed 18 points clear with a 4-2 win over Dulwich Hamlet.

Michael Folivi again got on the scoresheet as Chelmsford City won by the same scoreline against Worthing.

Bath City’s play-off hopes were hit as St Albans gave their quest for the top seven life, it ended 3-1.

Chippenham and Hampton & RB’s great runs continue as they pull clear of trouble.

Elsewhere at the bottom, Weymouth and Hungerford keep their survival hopes alive with big wins as Hemel Hempstead and Oxford City also won.

Nathan Delfouneso grabbed a winner on his National League North bow.

The AFC Fylde new boy secured a crucial three points at Alfreton Town and they needed it - King’s Lynn Town won 3-0 against Spennymoor Town.

Chester dropped more home points as Scarborough scored late through Will Thornton in a 2-2 draw.

Brackley’s challenge is all but over, despite a late Levi Amantchi equaliser breaking Blyth Spartans hearts.

Jacon Hazel scored again as Darlington beat Hereford 3-0 as Scott Wilson’s winner lifted Chorley against Banbury United.

Elsewhere it was a good day for Boston United, Buxton and Peterborough Sports.
