What Happened On Tuesday Night In The National League?

By Sam Elliott

Things closed up at the top of the National League on Tuesday night as it remains too tight to call.

Bromley’s lead is now just a point as they were held 2-2 at home by Stockport County with all the goals coming in the first half.

The leaders needed a Sam Minihan own goal to prevent defeat after throwing away an early lead.

FC Halifax Town are hot on their heels - they edged past Sutton United 1-0, who have now only won one in 11. Michael Duckworth scored his first ever goal for the Shaymen.

Yeovil
, winners in the FA Cup, weren't in league action but are two points behind with a game in hand.

Harrogate Town
are the division’s form side and are now up to fourth - they triumphed 2-1 at home to Barnet to make it seven wins from eight for Simon Weaver’s side.

New AFC Fylde manager Jim Bentley watched his new charges come from behind to take a point at Maidenhead.

Neill Byrne nodded home the leveller after Josh Kelly’s fantastic overhead kick, pictured, fired the hosts ahead.

Notts County
won for a fourth game in five as they eased past struggling Woking 4-0.

Two goals from Enzio Boldewijn made sure they returned home with all the points.

Ebbsfleet United
have really found their form under caretaker manager Kevin Watson.

Two-goal Gozie Ugwu was the star of the show as Fleet won 4-0 at Chorley, who remain bottom. It was their third win in a row in all competitions.

Barrow
saw their incredible National League winning run ended by Torquay United last weekend but they bounced straight back by winning 2-0 at Dagenham.

Wrexham still can’t win away from home. They went down 1-0 at Torquay United thanks to Liam Davis’ second half winner.

Dover’s home form is dreadful - but striker Inih Effiong saw to that.

He scored twice as Andy Hessenthaler got the better of his old club Eastleigh, the Whites running out 3-1 winners.

Meanwhile, Boreham Wood and Aldershot drew 0-0 in a game of few chances.
