What Happened On Saturday Across The National League?

Reece Grant cancelled out Mike Jones’ early opener for the visitors inside ten minutes.

After trailing at the break, Dennis Kutrieb’s side showed their promotion credentials with a superb second-half fightback.

Lee Martin brought Fleet level before Bobby-Joe Taylor rounded off a good team move to propel the Kent outfit into fourth position.

Despite the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying reducing this week's league schedule, there was no shortage of drama thanks to twenty goals across six matches.

Maidstone United were made to pay for two missed penalties as Chelmsford City’s Adam Morgan converted from the spot, securing a third goal in as many games for the former Liverpool striker.

The North division saw Boston United maintain their 100% league record with an entertaining 3-2 victory over AFC Telford United.

The Pilgrims responded well to going behind with an equaliser halfway through the first period. Two goals either side of the interval meant Craig Elliott’s men had breathing space when the Bucks pulled a goal back.

Elsewhere, Southport’s reward for a long trip to Blyth Spartans was a 3-0 win and rise to second in the table.

Liam Watson’s side- yet to concede a league goal this season- took the lead just before half-time through George Newell, then Marcus Carver and Dylan Vassallo sealed the win late on.

Omari Sterling-James’ brace proved to be the difference as Kidderminster Harriers defeated winless Chorley to record back-to-back wins.

A 3-1 home success for Kettering Town over Bradford (Park Avenue) handed the Poppies their first points of the campaign.
