Gulls And Seagulls Swoop As Iron Look Strong In The North

By Sam Elliott

September started in style for many sides tonight with some big early season results secured.

The latest first vs second game in the National League North ended with victory for Scunthorpe United as they moved clear at the top.

Will Evans’ second half goal gives the Iron a six-point advantage as Kidderminster dropped two at home to Chester, who rescued a draw through Charlie Caton’s penalty.

Radcliffe’s tough start continues. Issal Fletcher’s double was delight for Spennymoor as Nathan Cameron confirmed a big win for Rushall Olympic over Marine.

Farsley Celtic began life without manager Clayton Donaldson with a 1-1 draw at Southport.

Chorley’s long trip to Brackey was well worth it as Jack Sampson’s penalty double grabbed the glory. Aidan Rutledge did the business for South Shield at Buxton.

Jamie McGrath made it back-to-back wins for Needham Market as they stunned in-form Hereford.

Those hunting National League South promotion would have been boosted by Monday night’s results.

Well backed Boreham Wood were sunk by impressive Worthing while Dorking Wanderers found themselves well beaten at Aveley.

On Tuesday, Slough Town couldn’t wrestle back top spot - Weston-super-Mare’s fifth win in a row was earned by Luke Coulson and Dylan Morgan. Hemel Hempstead, who defeated Welling 24 hours earlier, remain in first place.

Torquay United - pictured - turned on the style in the first half to crush Chippenham. Lirak Hasani, Ed Palmer and Dan Hayfield struck inside the first half hour at Plainmoor.

Chelmsford City’s season is up and running and how. A stunning 5-1 win at Maidstone United saw both Charlie Ruff and Osman Foyo both score twice.

Weymouth have lost all seven without scoring. Jake Gray’s goal made it a great away day for Hampton & RB.

Bath City beat Truro City 1-0, Soloman Wanjau-Smith scored a first half winner. Alfie Pavey was the Eastbourne hero against Enfield as Hornchurch, Tonbridge Angels and Chesham all won.
