Saturday's Blue Square North Wrap

League leaders Fleetwood Town maintained their place at the summit thanks to a 3-1 victory over Hinckley United at Highbury Stadium on Saturday.

Adam Warlow (15) netted an early opener for the hosts before James Mace equalised just past the half-hour mark. However, second-half strikes by James Mullan (45) and Nick Rogan (56) saw the Cod Army home.

In other action, Alfreton Town came from a goal down to defeat struggling Gloucester City 2-1 at the Corinium Stadium. After a barren opening 45, defender Marc Richards drew first blood in the 64th minute. The Tigers responded strongly through quick-fire goals by Anthony Howell (pen 70) and Paul Clayton (73).

It was a similar story at The Moors, as it was goalless at the break between Solihull Moors and Farsley Celtic. Shortly after, the contest ignited as Dave Syers (47) scored first for the Celts before Mark Gardner (53) promptly drew level. Dominic Krief then scored the winner from the spot in the 69th minute.

Steve Daly completed a late brace to help Southport edge Stafford Rangers 2-1 at Marston Road. Nick Wellecome opened the scoring in the 41st minute before Daly equalised from the spot on the hour-mark. The striker then bagged a last gasp winner in the final minute to snare maximum points.

Meanwhile, it was one-way traffic at Mottassist Arena as travelling Redditch thumped bottom-placed Vauxhall Motors 5-0. Jozsef Jakab (25, 59) struck twice to go with Dan Carter and Liam Francis' (50) respective efforts for the Reds.
