Chester and Hereford four points clear

A late Luke Rodgers penalty handed Shrewsbury Town a share of the points in their away match at Woking.

Luke Rodgers put the third-placed Shrews 2-0 up but goals from Tanzanian frontman Davis Haule, a penalty from Ian Selley and a last minute Amos Foyewa strike meant Rodgers had to net his injury-time spot-kick to gain a share of the spoils. The result leaves Shrewsbury four points behind Hereford United and Chester City.

The Bulls still lead the table on goal difference, but Chester closed in on Hereford with a 2-1 win at Farnborough Town, who had Ross Weatherstone sent off.

Hereford and Chester now have 22 points, while Barnet jump above Aldershot into fourth with a 2-1 win over Aldershot at Underhill. They have eighteen points, level with Shrewsbury and two more than the Shots.

Elsewhere, well done to Worcester City, who recovered from a poor run in the Dr. Martens Premier with a 7-0 win over Bath City.
