Wrexham top the embryonic table, with AFC Fylde, newly-promoted Harrogate Town, Sutton United and Leyton Orient all yet to taste defeat.

 

Although Wrexham remain unbeaten and top of the table, they will be hugely disappointed not to have won their game at the Racecourse Ground against a Bromley side who had only won once out their previous five games.

 

Mike Fondop maintained his good form by giving Sam Ricketts` side a 31st minute lead.

 

Sub Rekeil Pyke doubled the home side`s lead on 65 minutes, only for Frankie Sutherland to reduce the deficit from the penalty spot within 4 minutes.

 

It still looked as though Wrexham would hold on for a win until the Ravens grabbed a stoppage time equaliser, courtesy of an unfortunate Luke Summerfield own goal.

 

AFC Fylde shared a 0-0 draw at Gander Green Lane against Sutton, while Harrogate beat Solihull Moors 3-1 at the CNG Stadium.

 

Defender Liam Kitching's second goal in three games gave Simon Weaver's side a 7th-minute lead, and although the visitors hit back almost immediately through Adi Yussuf, second half goals from George Thomson and Callum Howe sealed Town`s success.

 

Orient shared a 1-1 draw at the International Stadium against Gateshead, despite finishing with ten-men.

 

The O’s fell behind in the 77th minute when Middlesbrough loanee Luke Armstrong scored and their hopes of returning to Essex with any reward from the long trip north were dealt a further blow 4 minutes later when sub James Alabi was sent-off for a poor challenge on Robbie Tinkler.

 

But Justin Edinburgh’s men kept battling and in the last minute of normal time Marvin Ekpiteta fired home the rebound after Joe Widdowson’s header from a corner had been blocked.

 

Dagenham & Redbridge and Braintree Town are still searching for that elusive first win.

The Daggers went down to a 2-1 home defeat to Hartlepool United, despite taking a 36th minute lead through Alex McQueen.

 

Michael Woods equalised 3 minutes into the second half and Pools won it with a goal from Liam Noble just past the hour-mark.

 

Promoted Braintree went down to a 1-0 defeat at the Furness Building Society Stadium against Barrow AFC.

 

An early 6th minute John Rooney effort eventually proved enough for the Bluebirds.

 

Barnet secured their first three-point haul following relegation, edging out the team who came down with them, Chesterfield, 1-0 at Saltergate, thanks to a 90th minute wonder strike from sub Jack Taylor.

 

It was another late goal at the Gallagher Stadium that sealed Maidstone United`s 3-2 win over Maidenhead United.

 

After a 2nd minute Ryan Upward opener for the Stones, the Magpies went 2-1 up with goals from Blair Turgott in the 45th and 57th minutes – the second from the spot.

 

Adrian Clifton levelled 13 minutes from time, and then a Will De Havviland own goal clinched it for Maidstone in time added on.

 

Luke Wanadio gave Aldershot Town an early 8th minute lead at Stonebridge Road against Ebbsfleet United.

 

Sean Shields pulled Fleet level 8 minutes before half-time and then on 74 minutes, the visitors went in front for the first time through Andy Drury.

 

A second for Shields 7 minutes from time sealed the home side`s victory.

 

Boreham Wood won for the second time this season and inflicted a second defeat on FC Halifax Town at Meadow Park.

 

It was goalless until 20 minutes from time when Nathan Clarke broke the deadlock to put the visitors in front.

 

Eight minutes later, Josh Umerah equalised and the same player grabbed what proved to be the winner in stoppage time.

 

Dover Athletic suffered a fourth defeat, going down 2-1 at Crabble to Eastleigh.

 

Ben Williamson gave the Spitfires a 19th minute lead and the visitors took a two-goal lead into the break with a second from Paul McCallum after 37 minutes.

 

Mitch Brundle reduced the arrears after 65 minutes but the Whites were unable to find a leveller.

 

Newcomers Havant & Waterlooville and Salford City shared the spoils at Westleigh Park.

 

The teams` respective star summer striker signings were the marksmen, with Alfie Pavey putting the Hawks in front after 23 minutes and Adam Rooney levelling 9 minutes before the break.
