Lewes continued their surge towards promotion to the Blue Square Premier as they destroyed Basingstoke in what was another exciting Saturday afternoon of Blue Square South football.
Bromley came from a goal down to stage a brilliant second-half comeback against Bognor Regis Town at Nyewood Lane.
Alex Haddon put the home side into the lead in the 29th minute and his goal was enough to see Town into a lead at the break.
Bromley came out in the second-half firing and Williams handed them the lead on the hour-mark.
The three-points went the visitors way in the 79th minute when McDonnell stunned the home support.
Dorchester came out on top of a five-goal thriller as the best Cambridge City at the Avenue Stadium.
Jones Awah and Tariq Kahili put the home side into a two-goal advantage, but Michael Gash grabbed a brace shortly before half-time to send the side's into the break on level terms.
The second-half was an even affair, but James Rowe proved himself to be the hero of the day as he grabbed the winner for the home side in the 69th minute.
A late surge from Bath City was enough to hold Eastleigh at the Sparshatts Stadium.
Paul Sales opened the scoring for the host's in the ninth minute and Mark Marshall doubled their advantage two-minutes later.
Dave Gilroy pulled one back from the penalty spot on 21 minutes, but Anthony Rivere restored the home side's two-goal advantage in the 25th minute.
Chris Holland pulled the game to within a goal when he scored in the 65th minute, but Marshall once again restored the home side's two-goal advantage in the 75th minute.
Up stepped Gilroy in the last four minutes when he completed his hat-trick and secured a point for his battling side.
Fisher Athletic made home ground advantage count as they saw off the challenge of Braintree Town at the Surrey Docks Stadium.
Gavin Tomlin grabbed a first-half brace in the 30th and 33rd minutes, a brace which sealed the victory for the home side.
Braces from Godfey and Ian Hodges were enough as Hampton and Richmond thrashed Welling United at the Beveree Stadium.
The first-half saw little goalmouth action as both side's seemed content with knocking the ball around the middle of the park.
But the second-half was a different story altogether as the home side completely tore their opposition apart.
Godfey scored twice from the penalty spot before Hodges grabbed two-late goals, goals which ended the match as a contest and secured the points for the home side.
Lewes put in a fantastic all-round performance as they thrashed Basingstoke at the Dripping Pan.
Paul Booth scored the only goal of the first-half in the 14th minute when he finished off a well-worked team move.
The second-half saw far more goalmouth action as Simon Wormull grabbed a brace and Matt Groves finished off what will be remembered as a wonderful afternoon for all Lewes supporters.
Eastbourne Borough grabbed the three-points in fine style as they saw off the challenge of a spirited Maidenhead side at York Road.
Darren Budd put the visitors into the lead in the ninth minute, a goal which sent the away side into the break with a one-goal advantage.
Paul Armstrong doubled their advantage a minute after the break when he slotted home from the penalty spot.
Manny Williams grabbed a consolation goal for the home side in the final minute of the match, but it was a little too late for the home side as the away supporters wen home in a joyous mood.
Newport County left it late to secure a valuable point against Hayes & Yeading at the Newport Stadium.
Stafford Palmer put the visiting side ahead in the 59th minute, but that goal was not enough as Jermaine Clarke popped up to level matters with ten minutes remaining on the clock.
St Albans saw two late goals ruin their afternoon as they came unstuck against Sutton at Clarence Park.
The first-half offered little in the way of attacking moves, and the 0-0 scoreline at the break was nothing more than either side deserved.
The first goal of the game finally came in the 77th minute when John Stevenson prodded home from close range.
The home support thought that Stevenson's goal was enough to seal the points, but heartbreak soon followed as Craig Dundas and John Scarborough scored late on to hand the visitors the three-points.
Weston-super-Mare could not fight back in a frantic final 30 minutes as they lost out to Thurrock at Ship Lane.
