....on their first-ever visit to Latimer Park.

 

Dominic Docherty gave the Suffolk visitors a 13th minute lead that new record holder, Brett Solkhon, cancelled out after 34 minutes.

 

It looked like being stalemate, until Pat Brothers popped up with the Leiston winner with 4 minutes remaining.

 

Biggleswade Town remain as the only unbeaten side now, but Lee Allinson`s side earned a fifth draw from seven matches – this time 0-0 at Kirkby Road against Barwell.

 

Coalville Town`s fifth win in seven pushed the Ravens up to second spot.

 

Coalville hammered second-bottom Redditch United 5-1 at the Trico Stadium, leading 2-0 at the break through Tom McGlinchey after 12 minutes and Andy Wright 8 minutes before the whistle.

 

Montel Gibson gave the Reds hope when he pulled one back after 54 minutes, but Tim Berridge bagged a brace on 69 and 81 minutes and Wright added his second in between on 75 minutes to make it a nap hand.

 

Only Bedworth United are below Redditch as they remain looking for a first win after going down 3-1 to managerless Stratford Town.

 

Michael Taylor put the home side in front after 16 minutes, but Kai Tonge equalised just after the break.

 

Lewis Wilson restored Town`s advantage on 55 minutes and a third from Taylor again 11 minutes from the end sealed their win.

 

St Neots Town matched Stratford by winning for the second time this season to date – also 3-1 at Banbury United, for whom this was a first loss.

 

Ravi Shamsi gave Banbury the lead on 18 minutes.

 

But two goals from former Puritan Nabil Shariff on 31 and 38 minutes gave St Neots a 2-1 half-time lead.

 

And a superb strike from Dylan Williams into top corner of the net just before the hour-mark made it 3-1 and Banbury rarely looked like getting back into the game.

 

Back-to-back 2-1 defeats for AFC Rushden & Diamonds as they were beaten at Garden Walk by Royston Town.

 

Adam Murray gave the Crows a 15th minute lead that Jack Bowen cancelled out on the hour-mark.

 

But the old adage of being a dangerous time when you`ve just scored proved right again as Sam Corcoran restored Royston`s lead almost straight from the restart.

 

Managerless teams are also dangerous as Lowestoft Town found to their cost at Crown Meadow against Tamworth.

 

And the Lambs achieved a 3-1 win, despite going a goal down to a 65th minute Kieran Higgs effort.

 

But just a few minutes later, the Trawlerboys had Shaun Bammant sent-off for a second yellow card.

 

Kyle Finn equalised 15 minutes from time and then Joe Kettle 6 minutes later and Tyrell Waite 2 minutes after that took the game away from the home side.

 

There were no goals in the game between St Ives Town and Stourbridge, while Needham Market and Rushall Olympic shared a 1-1 draw at Bloomfields where Danny Waldron`s 26th minute penalty for the Pics was cancelled out by Luke Ingram just 7 minutes later.

 

Charlie Smith gave Hitchin Town the lead in the 11th minute at Top Field against Alvechurch, whose Josh March equalised 6 minutes after half-time to eventually earn a point.

 

It also ended all-square at The Grove between Halesowen Town and King`s Lynn Town, whose Craig Parker gave them an early 2nd minute lead.

 

James Roberts equalised within 3 minutes and then former West Brom striker Lee Hughes gave the Yeltz the lead 4 minutes after half-time, with Harry Limb earning a late Lynn point 7 minutes from time.
