What Happened On Tuesday Night In The National League

By Sam Elliott

Two of the big title contenders couldn’t be separated as Forest Green Rovers and Barnet were forced to settle for a point.

Rovers go top but will still be frustrated, the 0-0 draw means it’s just two National League wins in eight National League games - but Steve Cotterill’s team look down on the rest.

Regan Linney got another goal but Alex Newby struck a stunning first half hat-trick as Altrincham brushed Maidenhead United aside.

It was a bad night for Gateshead, who slipped to a 3-1 home defeat to FC Halifax Town. Max Wright made the points safe.

Tyrese Shade shone again for Eastleigh as they left play-off hunting Solihull Moors with all three points.

It was a thriller between Aldershot Town and Braintree, the game ended 2-2 with all the goals coming in the first half.

Ebbsfleet United still can’t get their second win of the season, they drew 1-1 at home to Yeovil Town, Aaron Cosgrave at least earning them ten men a point.

Kidderminster Harriers shoot to the top of the National League North after holding firm in the face of an onslaught.

Ashley Hemmings was their go-to man at Scarborough as they secured a 3-2 win.

Chester triumphed with ease at Leamington. First half goals from Charlie Caton, Tom Peers, Kirt Willoughby and Harrison Burke did the damage.

A seven-goal game ended with Brackley Town celebrating. Matt Lowe secured a stunning 4-3 win at Alfreton Town in a game that had it all.

There were no goals at Victory Park, Chorley missing the chance to jump back into the top seven as Peterborough Sports held firm.

Eastbourne Borough sit third in the National League South after they claimed a brilliant 2-0 victory at Tonbridge Angels.

Kai Woollard-Innocent and John Shamalo grabbed the goals for the Sports.

In the division’s other game, Hampton & RB performed a heroic comeback as they left Welling United 3-2 winners. Mauro Vilhete scored twice at Park View Road.
