The race for the Blue Square North league title is still on after leaders Kettering Town failed to overcome Blyth Spartans and AFC Telford slipped into third spot behind Stalybridge with their home defeat to Barrow.
Kettering Town had one hand on trophy going into today's matches but needed to beat Blyth Spartans and hope their rivals also lost this Blue Square Saturday.
But Adrian Webster clearly didn't read the script as he grabbed two first half goals at Croft Park.
The midfielder made no mistakes as he buried his chances on 20 and 35 minutes. Kettering's lead has now been cut to eight points although The Poppies still have two games in hand ahead of next Saturday's home tie against Telford.
Nick Rogan and Jason Walker silenced the 1893 fans at the New Bucks Head Stadium on Saturday with goals after five and 18 minutes respectively.
Telford have now lost three in a row to slip further off the pace and now find themselves 10 points behind Kettering and having played two games more.
Stalybridge were clearly in the mood as they thrashed Solihull with no reply to bolster their title hopes.
Celtic have won all but one of their past seven matches and they showed no signs of letting up as Steve Torpey grabbed the opener on 24 before Chris Hall and James Dean found the net after 53 and 60 minutes.
Torpey rounded off the match with his second and the sides' fourth with 20 minutes of the match remaining.
Harrogate are nicely poised in fourth spot with 70 points as they start to imagine an automatic promotion place.
It may be wishful thinking but all involved with the club would have been proud of their demolition job away from home at the Valley on Saturday.
Jamie Price was first off the mark with his 14th minute effort before Nathan Peat added a second on 23 minutes.
Howard Forinton's 72nd minute effort brought the home side back into the tie briefly before Danny Lowe killed off all hope on 77 minutes to make it 3-1.
Nuneaton let a first half lead slip as they allowed Alex Callery to grab a 67thminute equaliser and a share of the points at Northolme on Saturday.
Borough's inconsistency has plagued them this season and they will be ruing their profligacy once again with only Craig McIllain able to find the net for the visitors after 23 minutes.
Simon Weaver repaid his manager's faith for selecting him as he headed two second half goals to dent Boston's play-off hopes by coming from two goals down to draw the match.
Southport went two-nil up through Tony Gray after five minutes and Mark Duffy just before the break in a dismal first half for the away side.
But an improved second period saw Simon Weaver nip in on 58 minutes before a stoppage time equaliser to leave the home fans silenced.
Tamworth were hoping to build on their rousing 2-0 Easter Monday victory over Stalybridge when they hosted second from bottom Vauxhall Motors on Saturday.
However, despite a 13th minute Gareth Sheldon effort to cement their dominance, The Lambs were undone with 30 minutes to play as Thomas Carroll netted one of the few chances awarded to the travelling Motors.
Hucknall's 3-0 demolition of Leigh RMI further cemented the bottom-placed side's position at the foot of the table with a goal from Mick Galloway after just two minutes, followed up by a Peter Knox brace, the first of which he scored a mere three minutes later before waiting until the 21st minute to kill of the tie before it have even begun.
Postponed - due to waterlogged pitch.
