It proved to be a relatively good day for Stourbridge, with only Hungerford Town of those teams immediately around us in the table winning. They came from a goal down at half time to beat Weymouth 2-1 at home.

Poole Town and Cambridge City both lost, Poole falling to defeat for the third time in four games as AFC Totton completed a 3-1 triumph at Testwood. An early goal after 3 minutes was enough to give Hitchin a 1-0 victory over Cambridge at Top Field.

Meanwhile, third-placed St Albans City held leaders Hemel Hempstead Town to a goal-less draw at Vauxhall Road, a result which allowed Chesham United, 3-0 winners at home to St Neots Town, to close the gap at the top to seven points with a game in hand. Chesham's win also means that the Glassboys can now finish no higher than 3rd in the table.

AFC Totton 3-1 Poole Town
