This weekend, Yeovil Town found themselves on the correct end of a 2-1 win, as a Sonny Blu Lo-Everton double downed Oldham Athletic. Let’s take a look at what else went on in a hectic afternoon for the division!
We begin in Yorkshire, where the only opposition to Barnet’s title claims, York City, stuck 7 (Seven) past a sorry Aldershot Town, who finished the game with 10 men; Ollie Pearce scored a hat trick to take his league tally to 30 for the season, with Lewis Richardson chipping in with a double himself to extend the title race by a week. In another exciting, competitive fixture, Tamworth defeated Braintree Town, the hosts leading 3-2 at half-time before a late goal from Dan Creaney ensured the Lambs finished the game with all three points in an impressive return to the fifth division.
There were goals galore across the weekend, with two more sides hitting four – relegated Ebbsfleet United put four past Sutton United, as they continue their preparations for next season in the National League South, while Rochdale tucked four away at home to Eastleigh, keeping a clean sheet in the process; Kyle Ferguson made an appearance from the bench following his recall earlier in the day, playing 11 minutes.
The goals kept coming in the evening kickoff, as Gateshead clung on to take all three points back north against Yeovil’s next opponents, Forest Green Rovers. The Heed raced into a 3-0 lead, before a bizarre own goal and a Christian Dodge effort gave the hosts hope, but it was too little too late. Just when you think they’re down and out, Maidenhead United continue to surprise everyone – they travelled to FC Halifax Town and left as 2-0 victors, late goals from Sam Barrett and Shawn McCoulsky defeating a depleted Halifax.
Late goals rescued points for relegation battlers, as Dagenham & Redbridge salvaged a point at home to 10-man Hartlepool United, while in a lunchtime London derby, Wealdstone scored in the 80th minute to delay Barnet’s title celebrations for a weekend longer. There were three 1-0 wins to wrap things up, with Woking all but confirming that AFC Fylde will become the second relegated side this season, former Glover Dale Gorman bagging the only goal of the game, while Boston United jumped even closer to safety with a win at home to Altrincham, and finally Solihull Moors won on their travels in Jerry Gill’s first game as Interim Assistant Head Coach, as they defeated Southend United.

Yeovil Town manager Mark Cooper gave full credit to his players after a 2-1 home win over an Oldham Athletic at Huish Park this afternoon.
A double from midfielder Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, who the boss revealed was playing despite suffering illness this week, saw the Glovers deservedly pick up the three points despite a late consolation goal from the visitors.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman after the game, Cooper said that his squad had not used the off-the-field turmoil following the decision of owner Martin Hellier to step down as chairman and put the club up for sale as an excuse for poor performances.
He said: “The players deserve all the credit today. With all that has been going on off-the-pitch, they have not used that as an excuse, they have kept going and got some good results. We should have got a result (in the 2-1 defeat at Altrincham) last weekend, we won two games before that and we have put ourselves in a healthy position in the table and hopefully things get resolved off the pitch. The current owner is kindly still funding the club and we need that to continue until something is resolved.”
The day started with the news that on loan defender Kyle Ferguson had been recalled by his parent club Rochdale, on top of on loan Oldham winger Otis Khan being ineligible to play against his parent club, and injuries to midfielder Charlie Cooper. Defenders Jake Wannell and Michael Smith made their first starts since coming back from injury and there was an appearance off the bench for Morgan Williams, his first in more than two months.
Cooper said: “We are besieged with issues, losing players late yesterday with Kyle Ferguson (being recalled from his loan spell), Otis (Khan) obviously could not play (against his parent club), Charlie Cooper’s Achilles was not right, Sonny turned up not well, Michael Smith not ready to start, Morgan (Williams) was not really ready. It was just a case of managing the minutes enough so we did not risk any repeat injuries.
“(Jake) Wannell did not really want to play 90 minutes but we had to leave him on because of the state of the game. The players deserve all the credit, they stuck to the game plan, we nullified a lot of what Oldham did and always carried a threat ourselves. The boys were great today against a squad full of really good players and we had to be good to get any points. We were really just committed.”
Williams, who has not featured since the 1-1 draw at Dagenham & Redbridge at the start of February, came on as a 57th minute substitute for Smith to counter the appearance of Oldham top scorer Mike Fondop, thrown on after Lo-Everton’s second goal four minutes in to the second half.
The manager added: “The physio was not happy I put him on. He was supposed to have 20-25 minutes, but at that point Michael Smith had to come off because we did not want to risk his hamstring going again. Once Oldham put Fondop on, we needed another big player to be able to defend the box.”
Lo-Everton took his tally to three goals for the season with a strike early in each half. Cooper said: “The second one was great play from Ciaran McGuckin. He doesn’t give up and managed to get a foot to it before it goes out of play and crosses it for Sonny. The first one is a great finish from Sonny. I thought we were really good in the first half, but once our players that are coming back from injury started to tire, you could see that was when Oldham started to get a bit of a foothold in the game. They are going to have a spell in the game, I could not see their goal coming, it is 40 yards out, drop ball and we should do better on that one, but we managed to see it through.“
Who was your Man of the Match in the home game against Oldham?
Yeovil Town manager Mark Cooper has told his side they have to “get after” today’s opponents play-off hopefuls Oldham Athletic at Huish Park today.
The Glovers have named an unchanged starting XI for the last two matches but have been forced in to three changes with an injury to midfielder Charlie Cooper, the recall of loan defender Kyle Ferguson by his parent club Rochdale, and loan winger Otis Khan unavailable to face his parent club.
Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Mark Stillman ahead of kick-off, the manager said: “We have to make it really difficult for Oldham. We have to go toe-to-toe and get after them and make sure we are always in with a chance of getting something to stay in the game. We have to be front foot and get after them.
“We should have got a result last weekend (in the 2-1 defeat at Altrincham). A negative last 20 minutes where we did not go on the front foot and it cost us, you run the risk of conceding a fluke goal and that is what has happened. But today we are at home and hopefully the fans will get behind the team for 90 minutes and go and get after them.”
The visitors have also made four changes from Tuesday night’s 2-1 home defeat to Oldham Athletic with top scorer Mike Fondop replaced by the experienced Joe Garner, who is celebrating his 37th birthday today.
There is no place in the visitors’ squad for ex-Glovers’ captain Matt Worthington, who moved to Greater Manchester from Somerset at the end of January.
Oldham are looking to cement their place in the National League Premier Division play-offs. They sit in fourth place, nine points behind third-placed Forest Green Rovers, who visit Huish Park on Good Friday, and six points off Altrincham who sit in eighth, just outside the play-off places.
