Mind The Gap! Now We Have Huge Leads In All Three Divisions

By Sam Elliott

It may still be January but the message at the top of all three divisions already seems to be clear: catch us if you can.

Tonight, Tamworth moved 12 points clear in the National League North as they made the most of their man advantage to win at second place Scunthrope United.

After Tyler Denton’s red, Dan Creaney’s 78th minute winner could prove massive as the Lambs take control at the top of the table. Elsewhere in the league, Carlton Ubaezuonu struck the decisive goal for Chorley against Alfreton, 3-2 it ended.

South Shields gave their season a lift with a shock 3-0 victory at Hereford, Paul Blackett scored again. Banbury United win back-t0-back games as Darlington’s concerns grow.

Chesterfield of course have a huge advantage at the top of the National League and there was late drama in tonight’s two games.

David Noble nearly got off to a perfect start as Wealdstone manager but Kwame Thomas pinched a late point for Aldershot in a 3-3 thriller.

Jack Barham and Lorent Tolaj put the Shots into a commanding early lead. But the Stones soon hit back through Sean Adarkwa and Nathan Ferguson before Micah Obiero turned the same on its head - but there was a sting in the tail.

Dion Pereira’s 89th minute goal gave Dagenham a point at Solihull Moors, who went ahead when Josh Kelly won and converted a penalty.

Yeovil Town’s National League South lead is back to 13 points - they turned on the second half style to defeat Slough Town.

Matthew Worthington, Jordan Young and Frank Nouble were all on target as the Glovers power on.

Rod Stringer made a great start at Welling United as they came from behind to defeat Hampton - and did it with ten men. Second half goals from Adam Roscrow and Lachlan Byrd made it two wins from two for the Wings.
