The Poppies won 1-0 at Kirkby Road against Barwell, thanks to a goal from former Wrexham midfielder Marcus Kelly after 35 minutes.

 

Hitchin Town and Royston Town both finally got off the mark with first wins of 2018/19.

 

A goal from Danny Webb in the 19th minute at Top Field earned Hitchin their first three-point haul against Redditch United, while Royston inflicted a first defeat on Rushall Olympic, running out comprehensive 3-0 winners at Dales Lane.

 

The Pics weren`t at the races on the day and after a goalless first half, a Vance Bola brace on 71 and 79 minutes and an 86th minute Rhodell Gordon effort sealed the Crows win.

 

Stourbridge also lost for the first time after a ten-goal thriller at Owen Street against Coalville Town.

 

There were some stunning goals as the Glassboys went into the break 4-3 down with goals from Luke Benbow, Greg Mills and a Kyle Bryant own goal – Tolani Omotola, Tim Berridge, Alex Dean and an Andy Wright penalty for the Ravens.

 

Scott McManus made it 5-3 to Coalville in the 56th minute, only for Leon Broadhurst to reduce the deficit to one on the hour-mark.

 

Tom McGlinchey added the hosts` sixth after 68 minutes, and the only surprise is that there were no more goals in the remaining 22 minutes!

 

Lowestoft Town`s long cross-country journey to Stratford Town was rewarded with a 3-1 win, thanks to Shaun Bammant after 4 minutes and then Ben Fowkes and Jacek Zielonka in the final 7 minutes after Claudio Dias had equalised 5 minutes before the break.

 

It finished goalless between King`s Lynn Town and St Neots Town at The Walks, while Rob Parker`s penalty in the 88th minute rescued a point for St Ives Town at the Pro-Edge Stadium against Needham Market, whose Jeremiah Kamanzi had given them a 50th minute lead.

 

Tamworth came back from 2-0 down at Leiston to share the spoils.

 

The Suffolk side led through Jake Reed after 8 minutes and Christy Finch 7 minutes before the break.

 

Chris Lait reduced the deficit just past the hour-mark and then Akwasi Asante equalised 10 minutes from time.

 

The spoils were also shared at The Gore where Ahmed Ali gave Halesowen Town a 37th minute lead that Biggleswade Town`s Peter Clark cancelled out on 66 minutes.
