In the Central, just a point and a couple of places in the lower half of the table separated St Neots Town and Tamworth ahead of kick-off at The Premier Plus Stadium.

And the situation remained the same after the game as the teams shared a 0-0 draw that was more entertaining than the scoreline suggests.

In the South, Beaconsfield Town moved up to fourth in the table after a hard-fought 1-0 Holloways Park victory over fourth-bottom Swindon Supermarine.

The only goal of the evening came after 67 minutes when, following a period of head tennis in the `Marine box, Brendan Matthew was on hand to fire into the bottom left corner of the net.
