Forest Green lead the Conference after a 4-1 demolition of Ebbsfleet at the New Lawn. The Gumpers head the table by a point from Luton, who beat Cambridge 3-2 with goals from defenders Janos Kovacs and Dean Beckwith, with former leaders Newport down to third after losing 2-1 at Dartford with Richard Rose scoring a last-minute winner. Wrexham are fifth after beating bottom club Hyde 2-0, though keeper Jonathan Mayebi may be in trouble after claims he headbutted striker Scott Spencer. Macclesfield are fourth after a 4-3 win at local rivals Stockport.
Mansfield moved into the top ten with a 2-0 win over Tamworth, but Telford's early run was halted with a 3-1 loss at Nuneaton. Gateshead lost 2-1 at Southport to remain on 12 points. At the other end of the table, Lincoln's troubles continue after Nicky Nicolau's second successive goal was not enough in their 2-1 loss at home to Alfreton, watched by just 1,566. The Imps are just goal difference above the relegation zone. Kidderminster picked up a second successive point to move off the bottom with a 1-1 draw at Braintree, with Barrow next after a 2-2 draw with Grimsby.
