Bath City
are the division’s form side and they have to keep on winning.

Dartford’s great run is over as Slough Town ended their sequence of four without a win.

Dan Roberts got the winning goal but both teams will be confident of their chances of remaining in the promotion places.

So will Weymouth, who remain fifth after an impressive 2-1 win at Concord Rangers. Yemi Odubade hit the decisive goal in Essex as the Terras great first year back in the league continues.

The game of the day possibly anywhere came at Dorking Wanderers.
