Saturday's Blue Square South Wrap

Newport County are two points clear at the top of the Blue Square South, ahead of Dover, with just seven points separating the top five teams in the league.

County have Charlie Henry to thank for their 1-0 victory over lowly Bath City with his goal coming after just seven minutes while Dover will be ruing their 1-0 reverse to Worcester, who have just 10 points from their 12 matches so far, with Mark Clyde the hero there with his 34th minute effort.

Thurrock had no problems dispatching of Basingstoke in a match that they ended as 4-0 winners. Leon McKenzie put his side in the lead after 42 minutes before a Fola Orilonishe brace on 49 and 59 minutes with David Knight added a fourth with 11 minutes of the match remaining.

Two goals in either half secured victory for Woking over Chelmsford on Saturday with Wilfried Domoraud on target after 37 minutes and Sam Sloma a second half scorer with his 70th minute goal.

Elsewhere, Havant and Waterlooville and Eastleigh drew 2-2 with Richard Gillespie scoring twice in the second half to steal a point for his side.
