It might only be December but the races for safety and glory are hotting up more by the week.

Kreshnic Krasniqi made it four goals in three outings for Concord Rangers who blew away struggling Eastbourne Borough.

The Beachboys were four to the good at the interval thanks to Krasniqi's brace and goals from Joel Nouble and Kit Elliott before Nikita Trubin rounded it off late on.

Danny Scopes men have got the others looking over their shoulder.

No more so than Hemel Hempstead who slipped to defeat at Welling after Moses Emmanuel and Nathan Green's goals.

Dorking sneaked past fellow promotion hopefuls Weymouth - Jimmy Muitt's early goal sealing it while Bath held leaders Wealdstone to a goalless draw.

Havant & Waterlooville look determined to throw the title race open sooner rather than later.

There was no manager of the month curse for Paul Doswell who watched his Hawks see off Chippenham Town, 2-1 it ended.

Hungerford are now two adrift of safety after Chelmsford got their second win in a fortnight against them.

Quickfire goals from Tom Knowles and Shaun Jeffers put the Clarets in the driving seat before Chris Whelpdale and Robbie Simpson added the gloss.

Billericay Town threw away a two-goal lead after the break against Tonbridge Angels.

Femi Akinwande and Oddyseus Alfa had Jamie O'Hara's side in control after 20 minutes - but Tom Derry scored in between two Khale Da Costa goals to see the Angels to a third straight home win.

Dan Wishart had Maidstone in-front in 11 minutes at Oxford City.

A flurry of goals in the second-half saw the Stones run away with it - a Matt McClure brace and Justin Amaluzor did the business.

Elsewhere, Dulwich Hamlet and Dartford couldn't be separated and Slough Town needed a late strike from Matt Lench to edge them past Braintree Town.

What Happened In The National League North On Saturday? You'd be mad to call the play-off race in the National League North just yet. It's been another Saturday of shocks and big wins.

Awesome Osborne Is Moors Man Of The Moment! Not many marked their cards with Solihull Moors as title challengers last season. Twelve months on, you’d be mad to count them out now.
