What Happened On Saturday In The National League?

By Sam Elliott

There are three weeks left of the regular National League season and you can’t take your eyes off the promotion race for a minute.

Second-place Sutton United kept the heat on - they beat Weymouth 2-0 to ensure the race keeps rumbling.

Craig Eastmond opened the scoring after 15 minutes and the points were made safe by Donovan Wilson just after half-time.

There were no goals in the live BT Sport game as two sides chasing promotion met.

Torquay United’s lead is now two points after a goalless draw at home to Bromley.

Hartlepool United’s title hopes now look slim after Maidenhead United’s stunning win shattered their incredible home record.

Rhys Oates’ wonder-goal was overshadowed by Sam Barratt’s sensational hat-trick and an opener by Danilo Orsi-Dadomo.

Dagenham & Redbridge are wondering if it’s too late to make the play-offs.

A stunning 5-0 win at Wealdstone continued their great form and they have now won six in the row.

Matt Robinson and Paul McCallum both bagged braces and they both keep firing in front of goal.

Wrexham, though, look a good play-off bet - a 3-0 win over Yeovil Town was sealed within a clinical first half an hour.

Shuan Pearson, Luke Young and Jordan Davies were on target at the Racecourse.

Chesterfield got themselves back on track by putting Woking to the sword 4-1.

Gavin Gunning, Marcus Dinanga, George Carline and Jack Clarke sealed the points in Surrey.

Notts County are upwardly mobile again and after looking like they were blowing it, they have now won back-to-back matches and returned to the top seven.

They beat Barnet 4-1 at the Hive, Ruben Rodrigues carrying on his fantastic recent run with another goal.

FC Halifax Town are losing a bit of form at the wrong time, they went down 1-0 at home to Boreham Wood - Femi Ilesanmi with the winner.
