What Happened On Tuesday Night In The National League?

John Rooney is showing he may not only match last season’s goalscoring form - but could even better it.

The signing from Barrow, who notched 18 goals last season, scored a hat-trick for Stockport County as they demolished Wealdstone 5-2 in north west London.

He now has five goals in two matches from midfield - and his club have three wins in a row.

Lois Maynard and Richard Bennett also found the net for Jim Gannon’s team.

But they aren’t top - that honour belongs to Hartlepool United, but they couldn’t make it 12 points from 12 after being held to a goalless home draw with Bromley.

In the big game on the night, Notts County fired a late warning.

Near Ardley’s side have now won three on the bounce after in-form Kyle Wootton’s dramatic winner broke Sutton United hearts - and ended their 100 per cent record.

Torquay United have made a great start and win three arrived against Chesterfield very late.

Asa Hall won it four minutes into time added on and the Gulls are soaring, in fifth and just a point off the early pace.

Perhaps the performance of the night came from Aldershot, they cast aside their slow opening to the new campaign by thrashing Dover Athletic 5-0 away from home.

Josh Rees and Mo Bettamer both notched doubles to lift the spirits of Shots fans.

Kabongo Tshimanga found his goal-touch just when Boreham Wood needed it.

A 3-0 victory at King’s Lynn was a great way to claim their first victory of the new campaign.

Woking have had a great start - they have won three from four now as Dagenham came unstuck again, 2-0 it ended.

Malachi Napa and Jack Cook hit the target for manager Alan Dowson, who will be thrilled by yet another solid first few weeks of a season.

Barnet love Tuesday nights - after seeing off Dagenham last midweek, Peter Beadle’s men beat Weymouth 1-0. Wes Fonguck with the all-important goal on the stroke of half-time.

The Terras still haven’t scored in their four outings back at Step 1.

Bees boss Beadle said: “The performance throughout the whole game was good. Weymouth are a difficult team to play against. The lads have put in another good shift tonight and we got our just desserts in the end.”

Courtney Duffus rescued a point for Yeovil at FC Halifax, who went ahead with Jeff King’s goal six minutes in.

Neither side could go on and win it - the fancied Glovers are still searching for their first win of the new season.
