Yeovil’s 2025 was kicked off with a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at Forest Green Rovers, let’s see how the rest of the division got on in chilly conditions…
We start back in 2024, where a New Years Eve derby took place – it was Solihull Moors who ended up victorious, in a 2-0 win over Tamworth to further their playoff push. Back to 2025, and we begin with Woking, who continued their 100% record under Neal Ardley, as they won 3-1 at home to Maidenhead United. Hartlepool United registered another home victory to continue their climb up the table, as they defeated a blunt Oldham Athletic 2-1, while at the other end of the table, Dagenham & Redbridge won the “Manager-less” derby in a 2-0 win away to Ebbsfleet United.
A 94th minute equaliser by Cameron Hargreaves salvaged a point for Aldershot Town away at Sutton United, and it was a point apiece for Eastleigh and Barnet. In front of a sellout crowd, York City retained their place at the top of the table with a narrow 1-0 win over Gateshead, while in the evening kickoff, Southend United won on their travels to Braintree Town in a 1-0 win.
There were postponements for Rochdale and Altrincham, and Wealdstone and Boston United due to waterlogged pitches, and the final game of the matchweek takes place on Saturday, as FC Halifax Town host AFC Fylde during the FA Trophy fixtures.
