What Happened In The National League North On Saturday?

A quick glance at the form table before this afternoon and not many would’ve given Curzon Ashton a sniff against the leaders.

One win in 12 for the Nash but they improved to stun York City into a first defeat courtesy of Connor Dimaio’s winner.

It was high fives for Brackley Town and Altrincham who both notched impressive wins.

Brackley halted Darlington’s purple patch with five first half goals. Lee Ndlovu hit a brace while Matt Lowe, Wes York and Shane Byrne added.

Alty had to wait 53 days for a home game and it was certainly worth it.

A Jordan Hulme hat trick was the highlight as they blew away Hereford.

Three up at half time, a win looked all but secure for Blyth Spartans.

Callum Roberts’ got a treble at Latimer Park but it wasn’t enough as resilient Kettering fought back to keep their unbeaten record under new boss Paul Cox.

King’s Lynn are the new leaders after coming from behind to beat Southport - Adam Marriott hitting goal number 19 on the way.

Spennymoor Town blew a two-goal lead at AFC Telford who levelled things up just after the break through Billy Sass-Davies.

Struggling Bradford (Park Avenue) had another afternoon to forget, this time at the hands of Leamington - the Brakes ran riot thanks to a hat trick from Josh March.

Boston United had nine men on the field when Brad Abbott wrapped up the points against Farsley Celtic.

The Pilgrims had seen Martyn Woolford dismissed before Demeaco Duhaney also saw red.

Away from the field, Gloucester City relieved their boss Mike Cook of his duties despite their game with Alfreton being called off.
