The battle of the two relegated teams saw Nathan Tyson open the scoring for the hosts with Kayden Jackson finding the net for the Tractor Boys in the second half.

 

Billy Sharp scored a hat-trick in a 5-0 win for Premier League newcomers Sheffield United at the Proact Stadium against Chesterfield in front of a bumper crowd of 6,270.

 

Callum Robinson and Luke Freeman rounded off the scoring for a virtually full-strength Blades.

 

Aldershot Town enjoyed a good 4-0 win against a youthful League One Portsmouth side.

 

The game looked to be heading for a draw before the Shots struck four late goals.

Alfy Whittingham doubled the lead, with Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong and Sam Chislett adding further goals.

 

Dagenham & Redbridge earned a late draw at the Gallagher Stadium against relegated and now National League South side Maidstone United.

 

The Stones took the lead with just 12 minutes gone, Nana Kyei was tripped by Liam Gordon and Kyei got up to send the penalty over the diving Elliot Justham and into the net.

 

Maidstone boss John Still`s former club finally equalised 4 minutes from time when Joan Luque dispatched a confident finish past the stranded Jake Cole.

 

New signing Rhys Murphy turned in a match-winning display in relegated Yeovil Town's 2-0 victory at the Viridor Stadium against BetVictor Southern League Premier Division South side Taunton Town.

 

Murphy, snapped up from Chelmsford City in June, scored both Yeovil's goals a minute into the second half and then on 68 minutes in front of a crowd of just under 700.

 

Another new signing, Danny Whitehall, hit a free-kick winner from 20 yards to give Maidenhead United a 1-0 win at York Road against League Two Stevenage.

 

There was a 0-0 draw at the Sportnation.bet Stadium between Solihull Moors and League One Burton Albion.

Jack Holland gave Bromley the lead but the Darts levelled through Jordan Wynter.

 

The hosts added two more in the second half, the first being a screamer when a corner was not cleared by Bromley and Cameron Broadie fired home from 25 yards.

 

And on 70 minutes, Dartford made it three when Andy Pugh got onto the end of a low cross and struck home from six yards.

 

A first half penalty from relegated Gateshead striker Paul Blackett was enough as Harrogate Town lost 1-0 at the International Stadium.

 

Blackett had won the 24th minute spot-kick when he beat James Belshaw to a lobbed through ball.

 

Newly promoted Chorley went down to a 2-0 defeat at Victory Park to Premier League Everton`s under-23s.

 

An own goal from Chorley keeper Joe Anson and late strike from sub Manasse Mampala earned the Toffees win.

 

Better new, however, for one of the teams who came up with the Magpies, Torquay United.

 

They beat Championship side Swansea City`s under-23s 3-2 at Plainmoor.

 

First-half goals from Asa Hall, Armani Little and Manny Duku put Gary Johnson’s side in charge at the interval, only for the deficit to be cut twice in opening stages of the second period through goals from Yan Dhanda and Liam Cullen.

 

Stockport County, who came up with Chorley, beat former National League North rivals and neighbours Altrincham at the J.Davidson Stadium.

 

Altrincham took the lead in the 29th minutes through an own goal.

 

The equalizer arrived 8 minutes through Connor Dimaio.

 

And Stockport's winner came from to Elliot Osborne who hit a low shot from 18 yards past Tony Thompson.

 

Not too far away, FC United of Manchester, relegated back to the Northern Premier League Premier Division, were beaten 4-1 at Broadhurst Park by AFC Fylde.

 

The Coasters` goals came from, almost inevitably, Danny Rowe, Dan Bradley, former FC United man Kurt Willoughby and Matty Kosylo

 

Craig Carney netted FC United`s consolation.

 

Dover Athletic sharded a 2-2 draw at Crabble against League One side Gillingham.

 

The Whites` on target were Inih Effiong and Alfie Pavey, while Elliott List and Brandon Hanlan replied.

 

Two second half goals from Dylan Kearney gave Sutton United a comfortable 2-0 victory at Gander Green Lane against National League South neighbours Dulwich Hamlet.

 

Barrow AFC and Northern Premier League Premier Division Lancaster City shared an entertaining 3-3 draw at the Giant Axe.

 

Lancaster’s Brad Carsley proved to be a thorn in a much-changed Barrow AFC’s side as he twice pegged the visitors back during an entertaining pre-season friendly at the Giant Axe.

 

Trialists Sam Graham and Jonny Ustabasi along with Ollie Greaves were the Bluebirds on target, with Carsley bagging a brace along with one for Charlie Bailey for the Dolly Blues.

 

 

National League North teams…..

 

Chester FC came from behind to take the Supporters Direct Shield honours with a 4-1 victory at Hallmark Security League Premier Division hosts 1874 Northwich.

 

The Blues trailed 1-0 in the clash between two-fan-owned clubs after Sam Hare slotted beyond Chester`s new keeper Russ Griffiths on 18 minutes.

 

Anthony Dudley levelled with a penalty just before the interval after full-back Jamie Morgan was brought down by Northwich keeper Tony Aghayere.

 

Chester went ahead when as Simon Grand headed home Iwan Murray's 75th minute corner.

 

The result was put beyond doubt 8 minutes later when some neat build-up play set up Dudley, who bagged his second of the evening.

 

Dudley turned provider late on when he evaded the home defence and set up new boy Danny Elliott whose finish found the bottom corner.

 

Chester`s league rivals weren`t able to match them with an early trophy as League Two neighbours Bradford City took the Tom Banks Memorial Trophy.

 

The game finished 0-0 at the Horsfall Stadium, but the Bantams won the penalty shoot-out 3-2.

 

Alfreton Town went down to a 4-1 defeat at the Impact Arena to a strong League One Scunthorpe United side.

 

Matthew Lund struck a hat-trick for the Iron, who actually fell behind to after a mistake from goalkeeper Jake Eastwood allowed Amari Morgan-Smith to score.

 

But Lund equalised before half-time and then he added two more after Alex Gilliead had given the Iron the lead.

 

Brackley Town beat League Two neighbours Northampton Town 1-0 at St James`s Park.

 

The Saints scored the only goal with just under 20 minutes to play, sub and new signing Tendai Daire finishing from close range.

 

The Cobblers were a shade unfortunate, however, as they hit the woodwork on three occasions.

 

Boston United and BetVictor Northern Premier League Premier Division neighbours Grantham Town played out a goalless draw at The Meres.

 

Marcus Dinanga and Aaron Williams both netted to help AFC Telford United to a 2-0 victory at the Don Amott Arena against Northern Premier League Premier Division hosts Mickleover Sports.

 

Curzon Ashton suffered a 4-1 defeat at Northern Premier League Division One North West side Tadcaster Albion.
