What Happened Across The National League On Saturday?

By Sam Elliott

Fans finally returned to National League stadia this afternoon - and the goals certainly flowed for them!

Torquay United said ‘catch us if you can’ as they impressed once again with a 3-1 win over Wrexham.

The leaders look good and took the points thanks to Ben Whitfield, Asa Hall and Connor Lemonheigh-Evans goals to make it eight wins in nine for the pace-setters.

Sutton shot four goals past hard-to-beat Solihull - who had kept five clean sheets in six matches before their trip to Gander Green Lane.

An own goal from Ryan Boot got them up and running with Tobi Sho-Silva, David Ajiboye and Aaron Simpson also hitting the back of the net.

Notts County are up to third - top scorer Kyle Wootton got the all important goal against Woking as the Magpies won for a third match in four.

Stockport County finally returned to National League action - their first game since October ended in an impressive 2-0 victory at Bromley.

Summer signings Alex Reid and John Rooney did the business in the capital.

Gus Mafuta came back to haunt his old club Hartlepool United with a fine double as Boreham Wood won 2-1 at Victoria Park.

Pools haven’t won at home since the opening day with only one victory in eight.

Harry Panayiotou got what turned out to be the winner as Aldershot claimed a 2-1 success over Dagenham & Redbridge.

The big derby game between Barnet and Wealdstone didn't catch light - it ended without a goal.

Maidenhead United are surprising everyone once again - they won for the sixth time in nine league matches.

They shocked Eastleigh 1-0 at the Silverlake, Alex Addai scored a 47th minute winner.

In the final clash of the day, FC Halifax Town put Weymouth to the sword in front of the BT Sport cameras.


The National League North top three weren’t in action - and the chance was there for the chasers to take advantage!

York City won the day’s big match 2-1 - defeating Chester for their fourth win in seven games.

Harry Bunn and Akil Wright were in target as Steve Watson’s team won for a third time in four outings.

AFC Telford, in fourth at the start of the day, didn’t do themselves justice as they lost 2-0 to Farsley Celtic - whose impressive start continues.

Gateshead are in great form but dropped points thanks to a late Junior English leveller for never-say-die Leamington.

It was defeat for the bottom two sides - Blyth Spartans are struggling again, they went down 2-1 at Kettering.

Guiseley let points slip against a side down there with them, Brackley ran out impressive 3-1 winners - Wes York confirmed the points late on.


It was a day to forget for the two sides at the top of the National League South.

Bottom side Bath City are not that any longer - they stunned second-place Dorking Wanderers 2-1 in Surrey.

Lethal Donovan Wilson and Tom Smith gave Romans manager Jerry Gill a huge boost.

Now in third are St Albans - they won the battle of the form sides as they came away from Hampton with a 2-0 win.
