The Nash ran out 5-0 winners with goals from Isaac Sinclair and Luke Wall in the first half and Sean Miller, Ollie Thornley and Luke Merrill in the second.

Newly promoted Farsley Celtic and Kettering Town started with opening home wins, but fellow new boys King`s Lynn Town were beaten 3-0 at Nethermoor Park by Guiseley AFC.

Farsley won 3-1 at Throstle Nest against Darlington with goals from Tyler Walton, ex-Quakers striker Nathan Cartman and James Spencer, with Mark Bell replying on 65 minutes.

A penalty save by keeper Paul White helped the Poppies seal their return with a 2-1 win over old rivals AFC Telford United at Latimer Park with Joel Carta and Daniel Nti cancelling out Steph Morley`s first half opener for the Bucks.

Jamie Spencer bagged a brace to help Guiseley beat King`s Lynn after Aaron Martin`s opener.

The switch back from south to north seems to have worked well for Gloucester City as they blunted Lee Clark`s opening league game in charge of Blyth Spartans by winning 2-1 at Croft Park.

Joe Hanks gave the Tigers a first half lead from the penalty spot and Marlon Jackson doubled their advantage with 10 minutes to go, rendering Damen Mullen`s 83^rd minute reply as just a consolation.

Shepherd Murombedzi scored the only goal 5 minutes from time to give Brackley Town victory at St James`s Park against Alfreton Town, while York City were the day`s only other winners, 3-1 at the J.Davidson Stadium against Altrincham.

And that after trailing to a 12^th minute James Jones effort which David Ferguson levelled just before the break and then Joe Tait and Jordan Burrow sealed the Minstermen`s win in the second period.

The other matches were all drawn.

Relegated Gateshead and Southport shared a goalless encounter at the International Stadium, while Jordan Slew gave Boston United a 37^th minute lead at the Jakemans Stadium against Chester, for whom George Waring equalised 2 minutes later.

Hereford FC and Spennymoor Town shared a 2-2 Edgar Street stalemate in which Jordan Nicholson gave the Bulls a 26^th minute lead that Andrew Johnson eventually cancelled out just past the hour-mark.

Glen Taylor put the visitors in front on 76 minutes, but 3 minutes later, sub Tom Owen-Evans popped up with Hereford`s leveller.

Kidderminster Harriers and Leamington also shared the opening day`s points by the same scoreline.

Leamington had the lead late in the first half as Josh March tucked away a penalty.

Harriers responded just before the hour-mark through Ashley Chambers.

Ed Williams made it 2-1 to Harriers on 72 minutes, with the visitors reduced to ten-men late on when Jack Edwards was dismissed.

But the ten-men equalised 3 minutes from time through Junior English.
