All Tuesday Night's National League Thrills And Spills

By Sam Elliott

The chasing pack upped the heat on leaders FC Halifax on another explosive night of action across the National League.

The Shaymen dropped two points at home to bottom club Chorley - on an evening when Bromley, Yeovil and Barrow all impressed.

The leaders had so many chances but there was no getting past Chorley who kept their seventh clean sheet - their third in a row - to blunt the table-toppers, who stay in pole position on goal difference.

Yeovil may have seen their great run halted on Saturday but good sides bounce back and they did that with a first-half power show as they gunned down Woking.

The Glovers won 3-1 at Huish Park as Rhys Murphy’s double and Jimmy Smith simple finish confirmed an eighth win in nine games.

Bromley desperately need three points after two straight losses and Neil Smith got exactly what he needed from his team.

They came from behind to pass a big test at Barnet, recovering after Josh Walker gave the Bees a tenth minute lead. Chris Bush made it 1-1 before Joe Kizzi was the right man in the right place to take them level on points with Halifax.

On fire Barrow won yet again - it’s seven wins in a row thanks to their 3-1 win over Boreham Wood at Holker Street.

But one fantastic run is at an end. Dagenham were defeated for the first time since mid-August, that 11-game sequence is over as Notts County’s rise continues.

Kristian Dennis’ sensational goal sealed a 2-0 win for the Magpies, Neal Ardley’s men have now taken ten points from a possible 12.

Torquay United turned on the style as they won 4-2 at struggling Ebbsfleet, while Aldershot also found their form in front of goal - rocking Dover 4-0 to move into 17th.

Returning Wrexham manager Dean Keates was undone by Harrogate's Ryan Fallowfield ten minutes from time as Simon Weaver’s team went home to Yorkshire with a 1-1 draw.

Chesterfield found their scoring touch - but AFC Fylde suffered a fourth defeat on the spin and joined the Spireites in the bottom four.

Two goals from Mike Fondop-Talom secured a 3-1 success at Mill Farm for John Sheridan’s team and they certainly needed it.

More than 3,000 fans were celebrating as Solihull Moors won 2-0 over Sutton United thanks to the club’s Pay What You Want honesty initiative. Danny Wright confirmed the points for Tim Flowers’ team.

Eastleigh striker Tyrone Barnett carried on his good form as he nodded home the winner as Ben Strevens’ side beat Maidenhead 2-1.
