The final round of fixtures for August has finished, and with Yeovil being involved in the true “belter of a match”, with their 4-3 defeat to Havant & Waterlooville, I fear this may be a quiet rundown. Nevertheless, I’m here to bring you the scores on the doors from the rest of the league.
We start down in Plymouth with Truro City, who groundshare with one of our pre-season hosts, Plymouth Parkway. They got themselves another 3 points with a 3-1 win against Farnborough. Another 3 goals came in the match between hosts Aveley and Hampton & Richmond, with the newly promoted side continuing their strong start with a 3-0 win.
Chippenham Town condemned Slough Town to another defeat with a 2-1 win, while a 94th minute penalty from Aaron Jarvis rescued all 3 points for Torquay United, as they defeated Braintree Town 2-1.
There were three 2-0 wins, with Dartford having the measure of Dover Athletic, Bath City requiring some luck with a penalty and an own goal handing them the win away to St Albans City, and Worthing comfortably beating 10 man W*ymouth at home.
Taunton capitalised on their man advantage following an 84th minute red card for Maidstone as they drew 1-1, while 10 man Weston-super-mare also drew 1-1, with Hemel Hempstead.
Eastbourne Borough’s slow start continued at the hands of Chelmsford City, who defeated the visitors 1-0, and in the final game of today’s roundup, Welling United registered their second win in a row by defeating last week’s visitors Tonbridge Angels 1-0.
