What Happened On Tuesday Night In The National League?

By Sam Elliott

Sutton United sent out a very clear message as they won once again and their championship rivals all dropped points.

Matt Gray’s team move six points clear of the chasing pack - and they have three games in hand on their nearest challenger.

Sutton beat Chesterfield, who were going for their seventh straight home victory, thanks to Donovan Wilson’s latest winning goal.

Hartlepool United showed spirit and stay second, but they couldn’t beat King’s Lynn Town.

They came from behind twice with goals from Luke Armstrong and Rhys Oates but couldn’t find a winner, 2-2 it ended.

Torquay United had a night to forget, dismantled at Maidenhead United they know they will have to get on a good run very soon.

The Gulls went down 4-1 to the Nathan Blissett-inspired Magpies, pictured, to leave a question mark over their title challenge.

Wrexham also dropped points, but their ten men bit back to deny Eastleigh.

Kwame Thomas made it 2-2, snuffing out Joe Tomlinson’s double at the Racecourse.

FC Halifax won for a fourth match running - Jamie Allen clinched all the points six minutes from time to end Aldershot’s excellent run.

Jack Stretton climbed off the bench to hand Stockport County a 2-1 win over Barnet.

Notts County battled back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Boreham Wood, an Inih Effiong penalty two minutes from the end turned the game around.

Dagenham were undone by a Jake McCarthy screamer in time added on as he leveled up Liam Gordon’s 43rd minute opener to earn Weymouth a 1-1 draw.

Altrincham struck late too at Woking, Kyran Lofthouse was credited with the all-important early goal but Josh Hancock took a point home with a penalty.

Bromley made sure Yeovil wouldn’t get another home win, a late own goal earning all the points for the away team.
