Joy And Trauma On Tuesday Night After Dramatic Evening

By Sam Elliott

Tuesday night certainly didn’t disappoint across the National League as the teams at the top keep the heat on.

There were other important stories too - Oldham Athletic’s players responded to David Unsworth’s departure by beating York City 2-0.

Goals from Joe Nuttall and Alex Reid, pictured, earned just the Latics’ second win of the season so far as speculation starts to swirl over the identity of their possible next manager.

Southend United are off the bottom after their show of solidarity saw to Maidenhead United. Jack Bridge’s penalty and a late Wes Fonguck goal lifted the Shrimpers off the foot.

Late kings Chesterfield are finding ways to win matches - even if they’re doing it the hard way.

After throwing away a 2-0 lead at home to FC Halifax Town, Joe Quigley needed the winner in the closing stages on to leave the ten-man Shaymen shattered.

Solihull Moors are ten matches unbeaten after coming from behind to defeat AFC Fylde. Josh Kelly got the points-securing goal just before half-time.

Bromley win for a fifth game in a row. Corey Whiteley with the clincher at Dagenham & Redbridge as their brilliant run goes on.

Barnet are perfect at home - it’s 15 points from 15 at the Hive as form players Danny Collinge and Nicke Kabamaba, his tenth goal in ten games, earned a nervy 2-1 win over Aldershot Town.

Gateshead got the job done in the first half at home to struggling Kidderminster Harriers. Marcus Dinagna, Greg Olley and Regan Booty all scored.

Oxford City have totally forgotten how to lose - they came back from the dead to draw 2-2 at Eastleigh, Latrell Humphrey-Ewers finding a late leveller.

Dorking Wanderers have come to life in the past few weeks and they were too strong for Wealdstone, it ended 3-1 with Jason Prior amongst the goals.

Joe Grey climbed off the Hartlepool United bench to score the leveller at Altrincham, 2-2 it ended as Woking vs Ebbsfleet United was a scruffy game of missed chances as it finished 1-1. It finished the same at Boreham Wood as Rochdale left with a point.
