In front of a crowd of 1,843, Rob McIntosh gave Skem a 15th minute lead. But 20 minutes later Jerome Wright levelled in his 250th game for FC United. A draw looked likely, until Aidan Kirkbride popped up with the visitors` winner in the very last minute of normal time.

Buxton remain on Skem's coat tails after a 1-0 win at Trafford, Shaun Tuton's goal just after the hour-mark proving the difference between the two sides.

King's Lynn Town moved level on points with sixth-placed FC United after a 1-0 win at The Walks against Grantham Town, Jordan Yong's goal seven minutes from time winning it for the Linnets.

Richard Bennett bagged a brace as Ashton United won 2-1 at Borough Park against Workington AFC.

Bennett's opener came after 20 minutes and he doubled the Tamesider's lead eight minutes into the second half, with the Reds reply coming from Gavin Skelton on 62 minutes.

Marine lifted themselves out of the bottom four as they recorded a 2-1 win over Rushall Olympic at the Arriva Stadium.

This was a hugely improved display from Carl Macauley's men, who went in front immediately after half-time through James Foley. Andy Fowler's 65th minute penalty doubled the Mariners lead, with the Pics responding with a Gavin Caines spot-kick five minutes later.

Bottom-markers Belper Town prevented visiting Barwell from making it three successive wins with a 2-2 Christchurch Meadow draw.
