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.
