What Happened In The National League North On Saturday?

By Sam Elliott

It was another good day for the title chasers meaning its as you were after another Saturday full of goals in the National League North.

King’s Lynn just don’t lose at home and once again were too strong at The Walks.

Adam Marriott is walking the Golden Boot race and his double helped inspire a comfortable 3-0 win over Spennymoor.

But the leaders didn’t get favours from elsewhere and their lead remains four points.

York City made their point with a win at Southport, which is always a challenging place to go despite poor recent form. Jordan Burrow showed his class in the box once again and just like Lynn, they have a great goalscorer too - his double sealed the points.

Chester
won again, a third victory in four came at in-form Guiseley as James Jones struck an early winner.

Brackley, in fourth, also won’t give up - they were indebted to Lee Ndlovu as his 33rd minute goal gave them all three points at AFC Telford.

Altrincham have won four from four - and they have now let in one goal in that time. A 1-0 victory at Leamington was hard work, but Josh Hancock delivered the killer blow.

Boston United
may be a bit too far away for the title but are looking good for the play-offs. They made hard work of the desperately out-of-form Bradford PA, but a 2-1 win keeps them sixth.

Gateshead
are in the hunt - a 2-0 home win over Hereford came thanks to Elliot Forbes and on-loan Dom Tear.

Blyth Spartans’ season is up and running now - Lee Clark guided his team to a fine 1-0 win at Kidderminster, who have now lost their last three.

Paul Cox is working his magic at Kettering, they saw off top seven hunters Farsley 1-0. Darlington’s 2-1 victory over Gloucester City was their four from five.

Amari Morgan-Smith helped end Alfreton’s winless win as they won 2-0 at Curzon Ashton.
