On This Day: Action From The Archives (March 28th)

By Tom Feaheny

As we gear up for the Easter fixtures across our three divisions, we take a stroll down memory lane to look at what happened on this day.

We are looking back at the 2015/16 season, where these matches took place on Easter Monday, writes Tom Feaheny.

Just like this season it was tight at the top, that time it was a two-way tussle for first, while any of nine teams could have gone down at this point of the season.

Let's have a look at what happened on this day.

Leaders Cheltenham's National League title hopes suffered a blow after Wes York's last-gasp winner for Wrexham, who moved closer to the play-off places.

While second placed Forest Green Rovers were also to concede late as they drew 2-2 at Bromley.

Third placed Grimsby Town lost 2-1 to Macclesfield Town, while Tranmere Rovers moved up to 4th with a 2-0 victory against bottom of the table Kidderminster Harriers.

Speaking of the drop zone, there was late drama at Nethermoor Park as Guiseley and Chester drew 3-3 with Tom Shaw scoring with seconds to go for the visitors.

The teams who ended the day fifth and sixth both lost with Dover Athletic losing 3-0 to Boreham Wood and Braintree Town were defeated by Aldershot Town.

Eastleigh were also big winners with results elsewhere going their way they beat Torqauy United 1-0 and moved to just two points off a play-off place.

Altrincham moved back into the bottom four places after drawing against Southport, while Welling United gave themselves a small bit of hope with a win over Woking as they cut the gap out of the bottom four to eight points.

FC Halifax Town ended just a point and place outside the drop zone after losing at Barrow 4-1, while Lincoln City and Gateshead drew 1-1.
