Darlington remain fourth in the league table after victory over Matlock Town in mid-week. Goals from Gary Brown, Lee Gaskell and Terry Galbraith secured a 3-0 win for the Quakers.
Only two games survived the weather at the weekend, with four games taking place on Tuesday night.
Blyth Spartans remain top of the league after their latest victory on Tuesday night. Robbie Dale scored the only goal of the game against Ilkeston from the penalty spot in the first half.
Workington kept up their title challenge with a 1-0 victory over Marine. Sam Smith scored the only goal of the game in the 26th minute. Workington remain second in the league table after their game at Salford City on Tuesday night was postponed.
Frickley Athletic moved into the top ten after a comfortable victory over Buxton on Tuesday. Sam Akeroyd gave Frickley the lead inside the first minute, only for Bradley Barraclough to level for Buxton. However, a second half double from former Quaker James Walshaw, along with goals from Thomas Davie and Luke Hinsely secured a 5-1 victory for Frickley.
On Saturday Sutton Coldfield overcame Stamford 2-0 thanks to a first half double from Zak Lilly.
The final game of the week saw strugglers Marine and Colwyn Bay share four goals in a 2-2 draw. Lewis Codling gave Marine the lead, but Carl Lamb levelled for the Welsh side just two minutes later. Jordan Harper put Colwyn ahead just after half-time, however, Andy Nicholas was able to earn a point for Marine.
