What Happened On Saturday In The National League North?

By Sam Elliott

There were five National League North games left standing because of FA Trophy commitments.

But every game was eventful as the leaders start to feel others breathing down their necks.

York City knew a win over AFC Telford would close the gap on relentless King’s Lynn to just one point.

They didn’t make light work of the Bucks but did enough to earn a 2-0 win.

Late goals from Elliott Durrell and Jordan Burrow did the job with City hearing earlier in the day that they could get the keys to their new stadium next month.

There was a big game at the bottom - and Blyth Spartans are giving themselves real hope.

Lee Clark’s men are now just a point from Curzon Ashton, who they beat 2-1 after legend Robbie Dale scored twice.

Altrincham were looking to make it six wins in a row but Guiseley had other ideas.

Kaine Felix’s fine goal earned at 1-1 draw in Greater Manchester after Tom Peers put the hosts ahead.

Kettering gave their survival hopes a huge boost with a big victory at Spennymoor as Jason Law’s winner deep into stoppage time gave Paul Cox’s men a priceless 2-1 win.

Hereford and Bradford PA aren’t having the seasons they hoped for.

The bottom club picked up their first point for a month thanks to Nicky Clee, 1-1 it finished at Edgar Street.

National League North results:
Altrincham 1-1 Guiseley
