One of those teams were Farnborough who are in third place but level on points with second place Hayes and Yeading United after a 1-0 win at Hendon. The only other change in the play off positions saw Chesham United move into the final play off place with a 4-2 win at home against Gosport Borough. At the other end of the table Merthyr Town won a seven goal thriller at Beaconsfield Town 4-3 while the two other teams who are in the bottom three with them both lost 3-1 with Kings Langley losing at Yate Town  and Wimborne losing at Swindon Supermarine. Dorchester Town moved further away from the bottom three with a 1-0 win at Salisbury. Other results saw Walton Casuals beat Tiverton Town 3-2, Hartley Wintney beat Truro City 4-1 and Poole Town beat Harrow Borough 3-0.
