League leaders King’s Lynn won impressively at Boston United. Adam Marriott and Jordan Richards put them in control at the break and Michael Gash sealed a 3-0 win with ten minutes to go.

The North East pair Blyth Spartans and Gateshead played out a six goal thriller at Croft Park. Scott Barrow gave the Heed a first half lead that was doubled by Jordan Preston after the break.  The real drama came in the final 15 minutes though. Callum Roberts scored two penalties in three minutes to bring Blyth level, before Greg Olley appeared to have won the game in stoppage time for Gateshead.  However, Blyth would have the last say as Levi Amantchi scored with virtually the last kick to make it 3-3.
