King’s Lynn just don’t lose at home and once again were too strong at The Walks.
Adam Marriott is walking the Golden Boot race and his double helped inspire a comfortable 3-0 win over Spennymoor.
But the leaders didn’t get favours from elsewhere and their lead remains four points.
York City made their point with a win at Southport, which is always a challenging place to go despite poor recent form. Jordan Burrow showed his class in the box once again and just like Lynn, they have a great goalscorer too - his double sealed the points.
Chester won again, a third victory in four came at in-form Guiseley as James Jones struck an early winner.
Brackley, in fourth, also won’t give up - they were indebted to Lee Ndlovu as his 33rd minute goal gave them all three points at AFC Telford.
Altrincham have won four from four - and they have now let in one goal in that time. A 1-0 victory at Leamington was hard work, but Josh Hancock delivered the killer blow.
Boston United may be a bit too far away for the title but are looking good for the play-offs. They made hard work of the desperately out-of-form Bradford PA, but a 2-1 win keeps them sixth.
Gateshead are in the hunt - a 2-0 home win over Hereford came thanks to Elliot Forbes and on-loan Dom Tear.
Blyth Spartans’ season is up and running now - Lee Clark guided his team to a fine 1-0 win at Kidderminster, who have now lost their last three.
Paul Cox is working his magic at Kettering, they saw off top seven hunters Farsley 1-0. Darlington’s 2-1 victory over Gloucester City was their four from five.
Amari Morgan-Smith helped end Alfreton’s winless win as they won 2-0 at Curzon Ashton.
