Yeovil finally registered their first win of 2025 on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to win 2-1 at home to Tamworth! Let’s see what the rest of the league got up to in chilly midweek conditions across two nights!
We begin in the north, where Gateshead triumphed over Sutton United in a 4-3 thriller, the visitors coming back from 2-0 down to take the lead via a belter from Lewis Simper, before the Heed staged a comeback themselves to take all three points. There were huge implications in the title battle, as Barnet defeated York City 3-1 to move seven points clear of their opponents. The Bees were the better side throughout the 90 minutes, and have built themselves a healthy gap at the top with 13 games to go…
On Wednesday night, Eastleigh disposed of a free-falling Dagenham & Redbridge in a 3-0 scoreline, leaving the visitors just four points from the drop and boosting the Spitfires up to 10th in the table. In further relegation drama, Wealdstone came from behind at Braintree Town to win 2-1, jumping out of the relegation zone in the process.
There were three more 2-1 results, all on Tuesday night; all three goals came late at Victoria Park as Hartlepool United were defeated at home to Altrincham, AFC Fylde started life without Kevin Phillips with defeat, as Boston United secured a vital three points in their fight against the drop, and Southend United condemned Aldershot Town to the bottom four with their win at home.
In a big shock, Saturday’s hosts Maidenhead United took all three points back to Berkshire in a 1-0 win at Oldham Athletic, Shawn McCoulsky scoring the only goal of the game for the Magpies. Woking secured a 1-0 win over Solihull Moors on Wednesday night, the final Wednesday night fixture was a 0-0 draw between FC Halifax Town and Rochdale, and the final Tuesday night fixture saw Ebbsfleet United hold Forest Green Rovers to a 0-0 draw at home.
