What Happened Last Night Across In The National League?

By Sam Elliott

There may have ultimately been nearly as many postponements as their was matches played by those who did get their games on were treated to some fine football.

Boreham Wood’s brilliant run is over - they lost for the first time in 15 matches and it was at Aldershot where they came undone.

Kane Smith put the in-form visitors ahead at the break and it appeared like things were again going to plan for the third place side.

But a brilliant second half from Danny Searle’s side was sparked by two-goal defender Kodi Lyons-Foster turned things on it’s head.

A great finish from Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong made the points safe even though Adam May did make it 3-2 late on. The Shots now sit 14th.

Kevin Watson says his Ebbsfleet United side are “going nowhere without a fight” after they kept their survival hopes alive - and increased Maidenhead’s concerns.

Two goals from Gozie Ugwu and one from Josh Umerah earned a 3-1 comeback win and the Fleet boss said they aren’t down yet.

Wealdstone wobbled at home for only the second time this season.

Defeat to Chelmsford was just the sixth point they have dropped in front of their own fans - and keeps the Clarets dreams of a late season push going.

Tom Knowles hit the decider and it’s the leaders first defeat at home since Havant brushed them aside in September.

Incredibly Billericay Town remain unbeaten at home, this despite being fourth from bottom.

They couldn’t get the win they needed against Oxford City, Jack Robinson’s penalty cancelled out Kevin Berkoe‘s opener for the visitors.

Chippenham secured a vital 3-0 win over Concord Rangers to push them three points above the bottom two.

Scott Twine scored twice and George Rigg got the other in a big night for the Bluebirds.

Boston United were blown away by Gateshead as the Pilgrims six game winning streak came to an abrupt end.

The Heed put in arguably their best display of the season to win 3-0 at York Street.

Jordan Preston, Nicky Deverdics and Dom Tear all hitting the target as Boston missed the chance to put the heat on above them in the National League North.
