What Happened In The National League On Saturday?

By Sam Elliott

Sutton United are already showing they have staying power as the leaders remain top after edging past King’s Lynn.

Donovan Wilson’s winner ten minutes after half-time proved to be enough - and Matt Gray’s men keep hold of first place.

Hartlepool United again had to battle with ten men and like on Tuesday they earned a point at home to Eastleigh.

There were no goals either at Meadow Park - title chasing Torquay United having to settle for a point at Boreham Wood, with the hosts twice hitting the woodwork in the second half in a game live on BT Sport.

Wrexham fans are wondering if they can still challenge for the title.

Theo Vassell and Jordan Ponticelli hit the net as the Dragons won once more, 2-0 at home to Weymouth.

It’s one defeat in 12 now for Dean Keates’ in-form team.

Yeovil continue to chip away at the top seven - Rhys Murphy, pictured, was at the double as the lethal frontman secured a 2-1 win over Woking.

It’s a seventh home win on the spin for the Glovers who edge closer to the play-offs.

So too do FC Halifax, who won for a fourth time in five as Martin Wood’s penalty was enough to secure a 1-0 success over Solihull Moors in returning manager Mark Yates’ first game back.

Chesterfield lost ground, they went down 2-0 to a Nathan Blissett inspired Maidenhead United.

Dan Sparkes also scored as the Magpies dented the Spireites’ challenge.

Mark Ellis was the Notts County hero in his first start as Neal Ardley’s team left Wealdstone with a 1-0 success.

Aldershot fans fancy the play-offs chances - and their players clearly refuse to give up hope.

Chike Kandi got the later winner as Danny Searle’s team defeated Altrincham 2-1.

Life under Tim Flowers started with a brave point for Barnet as the strugglers ended their bad run with a 2-2 draw at Bromley.
