It’s six unbeaten now for the Glovers, as they triumphed in a 3-1 win over Maidenhead United to lift them into the National League playoffs! Let’s see how the rest of the league got on, in an action packed day…

We begin with the televised DAZN match, where a first half Regan Linney hat trick helped Altrincham on their way to a 5-0 win away to AFC Fylde, the defeat dropping the hosts to within two points of the drop. Two teams also involved at the bottom played out a dramatic 2-2 draw, as Wealdstone sacrificed their lead with goals in the 86th and 91st minutes from Ebbsfleet United. There was more late drama in Yorkshire, as FC Halifax Town squandered their lead thanks to a 91st minute equaliser and 96th minute winner for York City to go top of the league.

Two teams also near the top of the league faced off in North London, as Barnet defeated Rochdale in a 2-1 win to stay in touch with the leading pack, while a Mani Dieseruvwe double gave Hartlepool United a 2-0 win over Aldershot Town. Two goals within the first 20 minutes handed Yeovil’s next opponents Southend United a 2-0 win over Yeovil’s midweek hosts Tamworth to boost themselves towards the top half of the table.

Further late action came at the Silverlake Stadium, as 10-man Eastleigh needed a 95th minute penalty to ensure Boston United‘s wait for a first league win since early September continues. 10-man Forest Green Rovers played out a 1-1 draw with Woking, a late Owen Oseni goal gave Gateshead a 1-0 win over Solihull Moors, an early Mike Fondop goal gave 10-man Oldham Athletic a 1-0 win over 10-men Dagenham & Redbridge, and finally, Will Davies scored against one of his former clubs as Sutton United defeated Braintree Town.

Yeovil stretched their unbeaten run to five on Tuesday night as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Tamworth in the Midlands. Let’s see how the rest of the division got on, across two nights of National League action!

We start with last weekend’s hosts Wealdstone, who came from behind to secure a crucial 3-2 win against Braintree Town, a double from Sam Ashford helping the Stones to within four points of safety. From one end of the table to the other, it was York City also came from behind to secure a massive 3-1 win over former league leaders Barnet, the defeat being the second in two games for the visitors. While Barnet fell off the top of the table, it was Forest Green Rovers who replaced them, as former Glover Tom Knowles helped the Gloucestershire side to a 3-1 win over basement side Ebbsfleet United.

There were two 2-2 draws on Tuesday night, as a 93rd minute Paul McCallum goal ensured Eastleigh left Dagenham & Redbridge with a point, while Saturday’s visitors Maidenhead United conceded a two goal lead to tie with Oldham Athletic. It was a bounce-back for Rochdale as they defeated FC Halifax Town in a 2-1 win, Solihull Moors came from behind thanks to a Jack Stevens double in a 2-1 win over Woking, while Kevin Phillips got his first win as AFC Fylde boss, as they came from behind to defeat Boston United in a 2-1 score line.

Hartlepool United remain unbeaten in the league under caretaker manager Lennie Lawrence, as they were held to a 1-1 draw away at Altrincham, a Luke Hannant goal was the difference in a 1-0 win for Gateshead at Sutton United, and the final match of the wrap up saw Aldershot Town and Southend United play out a 0-0 draw.

The Glovers bounced back from FA Cup heartbreak in convincing fashion with a thumping 3-0 win away at Wealdstone! In a day full of goals, let’s see what else went on across the National League…

We begin in the Midlands, where Solihull Moors inflicted league leaders Barnet’s first defeat since early September in a 4-3 thriller. The visitors took the lead within 12 minutes, however Solihull ramped up the performance and led 4-1 heading into the final 10 minutes; two late goals for the Bees weren’t enough to stop the hosts from taking the three points.

Tuesday’s hosts Tamworth made it 5 league wins in their last 7 games in a 3-2 win over Woking, former Glover Dale Gorman’s goal not enough to salvage anything for the visitors, while there were two 4-0 wins for both Dagenham & Redbridge and York City, over AFC Fylde and Ebbsfleet United respectively.

Oldham Athletic jumped above rivals Rochdale with their 3-1 away win at Sutton United, and also closed ground on Gateshead, as they drew away at Altrincham in a 2-2 battle. Forest Green Rovers left it late to take all three points at home against Braintree Town, with the Braintree socials admin crying foul for the Kyle McAllister winner (I’ll let you look it up if you fancy seeing it).

In a big result for  the hosts, Aldershot Town came from behind to defeat Eastleigh in a 2-1 result, while Maidenhead United and Hartlepool United had to share the points after a 1-1 draw. In the televised 5:30pm fixture, Rochdale were defeated at home in a 1-0 defeat to Southend United courtesy of Josh Walker, and in the final game of the day, FC Halifax Town defeated 10-man Boston United on their travels, courtesy of a 1st minute goal from former Glover Andrew Oluwabori.

It’s win number five for the season for Yeovil, as they defeated Dagenham & Redbridge 1-0 at Huish Park. Let’s see what else happened, on a chaotic day for the National League!

We begin in County Durham, where late drama may have saved Darren Sarll’s job, following a huge 4-3 win for Hartlepool United over Sutton United. ‘Pool found themselves 2-0 down at half-time, but a Mani Dieseruvwe hat trick helped them bag a vital three points.

Further highlight-worthy moments followed up north, as AFC Fylde, still without a manager, thumped Aldershot Town 5-2, including a double for former Glover Gavin Massey, and a goal from his OWN DAMN HALF for Nick Haughton.

In similar fashion to Hartlepool, FC Halifax Town came from 2-0 down at half-time to snatch victory from Tamworth in a 3-2 thriller, and in a similar scoreline, Solihull Moors held on to bag all three points against Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park.

A big playoff clash took place down south, as Eastleigh led at half time, before three goals in 25 minutes handed now-2nd placed side Forest Green Rovers the win; league leaders Barnet also found themselves behind at half time at home to Boston United, but three second half goals led the Bees to a 3-1 win, while former 2nd-placed side Rochdale weren’t so lucky. They found themselves 2-0 up at half time, but bottom side Ebbsfleet United scored two goals in four minutes to bag a vital point in a  2-2 draw.

Braintree Town bagged a huge three points in their early struggles, as they took down Altrincham in a 2-0 win, and Maidenhead United did exactly the same against Southend United on their travels.

In the evening kickoff, former Glover Dan Moss’ goal was cancelled out by another late Lenell John-Lewis goal as Woking and York City shared the points in a 1-1 draw, while in the final game of the day, Gateshead got off to a winning start in the league post-Rob Elliot in a 1-0 win over Wealdstone.

It’s two draws in a week for Yeovil, as they came from behind to share a 1-1 draw with Aldershot Town. Let’s see how the rest of the league fared!

We begin in Essex, where Southend United came unstuck at home against Gateshead in a 3-1 defeat, despite the best efforts of full back Gus Scott-Morriss, who scored his 9th goal of the season for the hosts. It was a frantic point up north for both FC Halifax Town and Wealdstone, as the hosts twice came from behind to equalise in a 2-2 draw, the second coming in the 90th minute after the visitors were sent down to 10 men following a second yellow to their captain Adrian Mariappa.

The evening kickoff was one of four 2-1 wins for away teams, as Oldham Athletic defeated Ebbsfleet United, despite the host’s best efforts. A Dominic Poleon penalty was cancelled out by an 85th minute winner from former Glover Otis Khan, ensuring the Latics completed September unbeaten. Maidenhead United picked up a vital three points away at Boston United, a 70th minute winner from Reece Smith separated the two sides, while 10-man Altrincham held off a late spell of pressure from Tamworth to take the win home. The final 2-1 win came at Woking, where two goals in four first half minutes gave Sutton United the three points.

Nicke Kabamba and Callum Stead scored the goals for Barnet in their 2-0 win against AFC Fylde to cement their spot at the top of the league, while next weekend’s visitors Dagenham & Redbridge played out a 1-1 draw themselves, as they hosted Solihull Moors. Two playoff contenders secured 1-0 home wins today, as Forest Green Rovers and Rochdale defeated Hartlepool United and Braintree Town respectively. In the final match of the day, York City and Eastleigh played out a 0-0 draw.

Another point on the board for Yeovil on Tuesday night, as they played out a 0-0 draw against Sutton United. But how did the rest of the division get on?! Let’s find out!

We begin in the Midlands, where a fairly comprehensive 3-0 victory for a visiting York City took them up to 2nd place, while the hosts Solihull Moors continue to look for their first home win since matchday 2. There was another away 3-0 win tonight as well, as Rochdale took the three points home from Hartlepool United.

There was an entertaining 2-2 draw played out at the Silverlake Stadium between Eastleigh and Woking, while there was drama at Mill Farm as another late winner for Tamworth made it two away wins in a row, against manager-less AFC Fylde. Another 2-1 win came in the Manchester area, as Altrincham ended Dagenham & Redbridge’s three game winning run despite former Glover Dion Pereira’s best efforts in the form of a penalty strike.

Maidenhead United registered their first win of September in a 2-1 result at home against bottom side Ebbsfleet United, while two first half goals put Boston United back into the relegation zone in a 2-0 defeat away at Gateshead. In a game of late goals, it finished all square at Grosvenor Vale between Wealdstone and Southend United, a 91st minute Callum McFarlane goal for the hosts cancelled out by a 94th minute equaliser for Josh Walker and the visitors.

Even more late drama came at Braintree Town, as a 90th minute penalty from Inih Effiong gave the hosts the win over FC Halifax Town, a tense battle between two playoff sides ended in victory for Oldham Athletic, as another Mike Fondop goal was the difference in a 1-0 result against Forest Green Rovers, while in the final game of the night, 10-man Aldershot Town fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to league leaders Barnet.

It was another narrow defeat on Saturday afternoon for Yeovil, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat in Greater Manchester to Oldham Athletic. Let’s see how the rest of the league got on…

We begin in Hampshire, where one of a handful of mouth-watering fixtures took place between early playoff contenders – Eastleigh came out on top at home in a 4-2 barnstormer over Rochdale, a Paul McCallum double helping the Spitfires end a two game losing run. There was another 4-2 result, but in favour of the away side in the Midlands, as Southend United defeated Solihull Moors, with a double from Aribim Pepple (absolutely incredible name) leading the Shrimpers to the three points.

Tuesday’s hosts Sutton United almost dropped points at home to Ebbsfleet United, however an Ashley Nadesan goal in the 77th minute rescued the three points in a 3-2 belter. In opposite circumstances, Altrincham threw away three points against a 10-man Boston United, who had their goalkeeper sent off. The hosts scored two goals in two minutes post-red card, but goals from Keaton Ward and Cameron Green earned a point for the Pilgrims. In the evening kickoff, it was a comfortable 3-0 win for Barnet in their local clash against Wealdstone, who now climb to the top of the table.

Mentioned earlier on were playoff contenders clashing, and here’s your next fixture for that – Gateshead were the hosts, but the visiting Forest Green Rovers were the victors in a 2-0 result that sent the Rovers into 2nd place. Life for AFC Fylde post-Chris Beech remains rosy, as the Coasters remain unbeaten in caretaker manager Nathan Delfouneso’s hands – they drew 1-1 at home to Woking, as Nick Haughton took his tally for the campaign to 8.

There were three 1-0 wins for away sides on Saturday as well, a dramatic 93rd winner from Tom Tonks handing Tamworth a huge three points against Braintree Town, an early Josh Umerah goal made it three wins on the bounce for Dagenham & Redbridge against Hartlepool United, and in a lowkey affair, FC Halifax Town took the three points courtesy of a Florent Hoti strike against Maidenhead United. In the final game of the day, Aldershot Town and York City played out a 0-0 draw.

In the only goalless encounter of the weekend, Yeovil shared the points with Altrincham on Saturday. Let’s take a look at what happened across the rest of the division.

There were many high-scoring affairs yesterday, none bigger than at Victoria Road, where Dagenham & Redbridge annihilated early league leaders Gateshead in a 7-1 drubbing. Three sets of doubles for Josh Rees, Junior Morias and former Glover Dion Pereira helped fire the Daggers up the table. Across the league, there were five games finishing 3-1, with perhaps the biggest surprise of the set coming at the Shay as FC Halifax Town toppled Eastleigh.

Southend United’s inconsistent start continued with defeat at home to Sutton United, an early John Akinde goal against one of his former employers wasn’t enough for Braintree Town, as they fell to a 3-1 loss away at Barnet, while a potential early relegation six-pointer ended in victory for Tamworth, condemning Maidenhead United to another defeat. The final 3-1 result went in favour of Oldham Athletic, as they took all three points home from Woking.

There were even more goals going in across the league, as York City defeated 10-men AFC Fylde 3-0, the result also spelled the end of Chris Beech’s time in charge of the visitors, becoming the second managerial casualty of the season – a nod as well to Callum Harriott, the former Glover got himself on the scoresheet for the Minstermen. Forest Green Rovers missed the chance to reach the summit of the division in a 2-2 draw at home to Wealdstone, a Callum McFarlane double securing an important point for the visitors.

Tuesday’s visitors Solihull Moors made it two wins in a week, and two away wins at that, as they defeated current playoff contenders Rochdale at Deepdale in a 2-1 win – Boston United and Aldershot Town played out a 1-1 draw, while Ebbsfleet United secured their first win of the season at the ninth attempt, defeating Darren Sarll’s Hartlepool United in a 1-0 win.

It’s back down to earth with a bump for Yeovil following their defeat against Solihull Moors on Tuesday night. Let’s see how the rest of the division got on…

We start at Rochdale, who are starting to get some momentum going with their fourth straight win in a 3-1 victory over Maidenhead United, Kairo Mitchell getting two of Dale’s three goals. There were goals aplenty for other home sides too, as both Forest Green Rovers and Dagenham & Redbridge registered 3-0 wins over AFC Fylde and Sutton United respectively – a shoutout to former Glover Dion Pereira, who scored two of the Daggers’ goals.

There were three 2-1 wins across the league, and we’ll begin with Barnet‘s win over Saturday’s visitors Altrincham – a 92nd minute winner from another former Glover, Rhys Browne, bagged all three points for the Bees. The other two games saw newly promoted teams take the lead, before falling to defeat, as York City and Hartlepool United overcame deficits against Braintree Town and Boston United.

Southend United condemned early pace setters Eastleigh to a 2-0 defeat, with yet another ex-Glover – Nathan Ralph – on the scoresheet, while FC Halifax Town and Oldham Athletic shared the points in a 1-1 draw containing two yellow cards in as many minutes for, you guessed it, another former Glover – Otis Khan, who will be back in time for Yeovil’s visit to Boundary Park next weekend.

In the final two games, Woking defeated Wealdstone via a Cian Harries penalty, and Ebbsfleet United secured a point in their first game since dismissing head coach Danny Searle, as they held Aldershot Town to a 0-0 draw. Gateshead and Tamworth didn’t play on Tuesday night.
