And the fact that the Robins possess a massive goal difference as well gives them an even bigger cushion. Barwell did have their chances before Alty hit them with two goals in two minutes just before the break from Shaun Densmore and Josh Hancock.

Andy Wright after 34 minutes and then Lee Shaw in stoppage time at the end of the game sealed the Gingerbreads win at Borough Park, while Roland Agbor's goal 20 minutes from time looked like being the Yeltz's winner, until Liam Tomsett popped up in time added on for Ashton.
Shaw Lane's incredible schedule could ruin their promotion hopes and a goalless draw at Sheerien Park against mid-table Lancaster City left them four points behind Farsley with three games in hand and still facing six matches in eleven days!
Witton Albion's top five hopes all-but disappeared when they lost 2-1 at Wincham Park against mid-table Stafford Rangers.
