Cambridge City 3-0 Basingstoke

Cambridge City taught Basingstoke a footballing lesson on Saturday afternoon as they came out 3-0 victors.

David Theobald put the home side into the lead in the 35th minute after some impressive team play.

The hosts had to wait until the second-half before they could build on their lead and Michael Gash did just that from the penalty spot on 76 minutes.

Lee Roach made it 3-0 less than a minute later, a goal which completed the scoring for the home side in what was an afternoon to forget for the visitors.

The visitors raced into a 2-0 lead when Jack Bradshaw and Jermaine Hinds scored inside 30 minutes to hand them a 2-0 half-time lead.

The home side, however, came out after the break a new side.

David Wilkinson pulled one back on 48 minutes and Paul Sales equalised on 58 minutes.

Sales completed the comeback on 85 minutes when he scored his second of the game to hand the home side the three-points.

Fisher 1-1 Dorchester

Fisher and Dorchester could not be separated at the Surrey Docks Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they played out a 1-1 draw.

The first-half produced little attacking threat from either side as they went into the break at 0-0.

The second-half was a different story, however, as both sides looked eager to open the scoring.

The home side did just that in the 49th minute when Shaun Batt found the net.

But the visitors leveled matter two minutes later when Patrece Liburd netted.

The game could not produce another goal and both sides will rue missed chances as a result.

Havant and Waterlooville 2-1 Eastbourne Borough

Baptiste netted in the 11th and 18th minutes to send the home side into the break 2-0 up.

Newport County 1-0 Bishops Stortford

Newport County proved too strong for Bishops Stortford as they ran out 1-0 winners at Newport Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The home side took the lead in the 28th minute when Jason Bowen weaved his way into a shooting opportunity and had no problems slotting home.

The second-half will be known as one of missed chances as neither side could muster a genuine shot on target, something which the home side took heart from as they finished the game strongly to claim the points.
