Dorchester Town reach ten straight wins and lead Division One South

The longest run of the week belongs to Dorchester Town. A 3-1 win at SC Inkberrow was their tenth successive league victory and put them top of the Southern League Division One South after 11 games. Player/coach Will Spetch said they started slowly, fell behind, then found their rhythm. "Whatever level of football you play, that is some achievement," he said. Ethan Taylor scored twice, taking him to 11 for the season.

In the same division, Hungerford Town lost their unbeaten league run at Westbury United in a game with five red cards for Hungerford players and staff. Westbury's Eben Mortimer-Taylor scored in the sixth minute of added time against nine men, and Hungerford's account said they were reduced to eight at one point. Hungerford beat Slimbridge 3-0 on Tuesday, but Westbury lost 2-0 at home to Hartpury that night.

In the Northern Premier League Division One West, Bootle beat Shifnal Town 3-0 and, by the club's account, are eleven points clear.

Midlands division side Shepshed Dynamo won 5-1 at Coleshill Town, Jack Butterfill scoring four, then beat St Ives Town 6-0 on Tuesday. Belper Town beat Nuneaton Town 2-1 at Nuneaton despite missing an early penalty, and Nuneaton's six-match winning run ended. Long Eaton United replaced Brad Munn with joint managers Craig Swinscoe and Ben Hutchinson.

Bradford (Park Avenue) beat Ashington 4-1 to stay unbeaten after 12 matches in the East division. Ashington manager Marc Ellison said "the players just weren't at it", days after a 4-1 win at Lincoln United in which Noah Cunningham scored a hat-trick.

The Isthmian League brought managerial change. Grays Athletic lost 2-1 to Canvey Island, their seventh straight league defeat, and manager Mitch Hahn left soon after. Kingstonian parted with Scott Harris, citing recent results. Whitstable Town won 2-1 at league leaders South Park Reigate for a fifth successive league win, then beat Sittingbourne 3-2.
