Five-Star Dragons Fire As Halifax And Heed Head To Wembley

By Sam Elliott

We have new National League leaders again - and FA Trophy finalists!

Congratulations to FC Halifax Town and Gateshead, who will grace the Wembley arch next months after defeating Altrincham and Barnet.

Wrexham are back on top of the table, Paul Mullin hit another hat-trick as they eased past Oldham Athletic 5-1 - and earned third 100th point of an incredible season.

We also have our first relegated side as Maidstone United drop back down, Dennon Lewis at the double for Boreham Wood in an easy 4-0 win.

Bromley aren’t giving up on the play-offs but Solihull Moors’ race is nearly run - Michael Cheek scored twice to up the heat on the top seven.

There were some massive matches down the bottom, too.

Torquay United are alive and kicking after hammering a nail into Scunthorpe’s hopes. Their 1-0 victory was secured by Lewis Collins.

In the live BT Sport game, Southend United did real damage to Yeovil Town’s survival chances.

A 2-0 win at Huish Park was earned by Jake Hyde and Rhys Murphy as the Glovers remain in the bottom four.

Dorking Wanderers really don’t fancy being dragged under.

Jason Prior scored in a 2-0 win at Dagenham & Redbridge as Chesterfield and Maidenhead United fired blanks.

Ebbsfleet United are now one win away from National League South title glory.

They could do the job next Saturday after Dom Poleon’s late winner at Taunton Town.

Oxford City are on the march and inspired by hat-trick hero Klaidi Lolos, they thrashed Tonbridge Angels 4-0.

Alex Wall also hit three as Dartford rolled over troubled Dulwich Hamlet.

Luke Wanadio scored twice as Dover Athletic dented Braintree Town’s play-off hopes.

Ryan Bartley’s goal for Eastbourne means Weymouth have it all to do to stay up as Zane Banton rescued a point for St Albans at Chippenham.

King’s Lynn Town hope Gold Omotayo’s dramatic late winner at Chorley can spark their National League North title assault back into life.

But it’s as you were after AFC Fylde’s 3-0 win over Brackley Town, Nick Haughton fired in two more goals.

Elliott Whitehouse was the Chester hero as they left Darlington with three points.

Buxton won’t give up on the play-offs and a 2-0 win over Spennymoor Town was earned by Sam Osborne’s double.

AFC Telford are almost down, Dan Jarvis gave Peterborough Sports a 1-0 win at the New Bucks Head.

Krystian Pearce got Kidderminster’s winner at Farsley Celtic as Sion Spence’s 88th minute goal was enough for Gloucester City to leave Southport maximum points.
