It was a day to forget for the Glovers, as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat away to league leaders York City. Let’s see what else went on around the grounds on a chilly and wet Saturday afternoon…
We begin in the Midlands, where Solihull Moors were involved in another goal fest- this time out, they finished on the wrong end of the scoreline, as Hartlepool United came from behind to register a remarkable 3-4 victory. While it was four at York, it was five at Maidenhead, as Gateshead ran riot and kept a clean sheet in the process.
It was a first home victory of the season for Boston United under new manager Graham Coughlan in a 3-1 win against Braintree Town, including a comical error from Braintree ‘keeper Lucas Covolan to compound their woes. Southend United came from behind twice in a 2-2 draw with former league leaders Forest Green Rovers, while a Dan Creaney double handed Tamworth a first league win since mid-October in a 2-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge.
It was almost exactly the same case for Aldershot Town; a double for James Henry, a first win since mid-October, and a 2-1 win against mid-table opposition, this time in the shape of Altrincham. Former Glover Rhys Browne got himself on the scoresheet for Barnet in a 2-0 win over Woking, while Eastleigh and Wealdstone shared the points in a 1-1 draw.
There were three postponed fixtures due to the weekend’s weather, as the lunchtime derby between Rochdale and Oldham Athletic was called off, as well as a late postponement between AFC Fylde and Ebbsfleet United. FC Halifax Town and Sutton United both stayed home, as it was confirmed they wouldn’t play on Friday night.
