Lewes continued their dominance of the league with an absolutely brilliant performance against a struggling Welling side in what was another exciting Saturday afternoon of Blue Square South football.
Fisher Athletic left it late to secure the three-points against Bath City at Twerton Park.
The first-half was a rather even affair, with both side's taking some time to find their feet.
The second-half was a different story, however, with the Fish running the game for extended periods.
The visitors finally broke the deadlock in the 78th minute when Wesley Thomas slotted home from the penalty spot to send the three-points home with the visiting outfit.
Bognor Regis Town could not handle a spirited Eastleigh side at Nyewood Park on Saturday as the visiting side ran out 3-0 winners.
Jamie Brown and Andrew Forbes put Eastleigh into a 2-0 lead within the first six-minutes and Anthony Rivere completed the scoring shortly before half-time.
The three goals in the first-half completely deflated the home side with the visitors dominating the second-half from start to finish.
Hayes & Yeading put on a fine performance as they ran out 4-1 victors against a below-par Cambridge City side at the City Ground.
Will Hendry put the visitors into the lead on 21 minutes, but the home side clawed their way back into the match with an equaliser through Michael Gash from the penalty spot on 40 minutes.
The home side's joy was short lived as an own goal from Joe Bruce handed the visiting outfit the lead once again.
The second-half was all Hayes & Yeading, and when Joshua Scott grabbed a brace with 20 minutes to go, the points were secure.
St Albans could do no wrong as they ran out convincing winners against Dorchester at the Avenue Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Mark Jermyn opened the scoring for the visiting side when he put the ball into his own net on 25 minutes.
It was 2-0 on 37 minutes when Marcell McKie found the net, and the match and points were sealed when Simon Martin found the net on the hour mark.
Eastbourne Borough put on a fine display as they thrashed Basingstoke at Langney Sport Club on Saturday afternoon.
Paul Armstrong opened the scoring for the home side from the penalty spot on 14 minutes.
The home side continued to dominate the first-half as Nathan Crabb, Andy Atkins and Matt Crabb all scored to send the hosts into the break with a 4-0 lead.
Nathan Crabb and Atkins both grabbed their braces in the second-half to further compound the visitor's misery and hand Boro the three-points.
Hampton & Richmond came out on top of an exciting five-goal thriller with Bromley at Beveree Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Shaun McAuley put the home side ahead on 25 minutes, only to see his strike cancelled out by Danny Hockton two-minutes later.
The visitors took the lead on 55 minutes, somewhat against the run of play, when McDonnell slotted home.
But the home side proved to be too strong for the visitors towards the end as Lawrence Yaku and Harris netted to hand the home side the three-points.
Braintree Town managed to secure a valuable victory against Maidenhead Utd, in what was a dull affair at York Road.
For the first 70 minutes of the match goalmouth chances came at a premium, with both sides looking disinterested.
The breakthrough finally came on 70 minutes when Lee Burns found the net and that goal proved to be the decisive one as the visitors left with the three-points.
Newport County secured a valuable three-points against Sutton Utd at the Borough Sports Ground on Saturday afternoon.
The match was decided by a single-goal in the 41st minute when Jason Bowen converted a spot-kick.
The second-half will not be remembered for anything other than poor football as both side's failed to create a meaningful goalscoring opportunity.
A first-half strike from Rob Swain was enough for Thurrock to claim the three-points against a below-par Bishops Stortford side at Ship Lane on Saturday afternoon.
The home side dominated the opening exchanges and thoroughly deserved to open the scoring when Swain broke free of the oppositions defence to slot home.
The second-half could not live up to the speed and tempo of the first, as both side's seemed to lose interest in a match which Thurrock were never going to let slip.
Blue Square South leaders Lewes continued their dominance of the league with an absolutely brilliant performance against a struggling Welling side at Park View Road on Saturday.
Paul Booth got the ball rolling in the third minute when he found the net from close range.
Hamid Barr doubled that lead four-minutes later when he too found the net from close range.
The match was ended as a contest when Dale Binns scored on 10 minutes.
From then the match took a dip as neither side seemed interested in pressing forward and the visitors dominated every aspect of the game.
Lewes' dominance paid off late on when Gary Holloway scored and it was nothing less than the visitors deserved as they proved their title-credentials yet again.
