The Hawks triumphed 2-1 at Hemel Hempstead, who have fallen off the pace in recent weeks.

Goals from Sam Magri and Danny Kedwell proved to be enough - the veteran striker’s winner hurting former Wimbledon team-mate Sammy Moore, in charge at Vauxhall Road.

Darren McQueen, Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong and Luke Wanadio scored the goals as Steve King’s side were too good for Oxford City. It ended 3-0 to the hosts at Princes Park.

Angels’ 1-0 win at Cressing Road came thanks to an own goal - Steve McKimm’s men are now four point clear of trouble.
