Darlington 1 - 1 Dagenham and Redbridge

Darlington and Dagenham & Redbridge played out a competitive 1–1 draw at Blackwell Meadows. After a tight first half with few clear chances, the visitors struck first when D. Wilson fired home in the 51st minute. Darlington responded well, adjusting their shape and pushing forward. Their pressure paid off when W. Maddison produced a brilliant solo effort on 62 minutes to level the score. Both sides made multiple substitutions in search of a winner, but resolute defending and wayward finishing kept the game tied. Maddison shone as Man of the Match, while Dagenham’s Wilson remained their key threat throughout.

Solihull Moors 2-1 Ucksbridge

Fantastic result for the lads in what was a tight game. This league is very close and I am very proud of the players for their achievements after a difficult 1st half to the season. Goals are finally starting to come which has been our main issue so far this season. We've played very good football in a lot of our games however the goals hav not come and that's why we're not higher in the table. If we can kick on now and have a good second half to the season we can still finish in a decent position as the league is still quite tight so a lot to play for.

Hartlepool United 1 - 2 Buxton

Disgusting loss at home to a side on the bottom of the table. All semblance of form has deserted us now and Leamington have a seemingly unassailable lead on the rest of the division. Well played to them but us handing it to them has been pretty poor. Can't work out how we got out passed and out played at home and how they're actually on the bottom of the table to be fair.
