News Round-Up


Chester beat Halifax 2-1 in last night's televised game at the Deva Stadium. Craig Mahon put the Blues ahead after the Shaymen had Josh Wilson sent off, but a last minute James Bolton goal looked to have gained the visitors a draw before Jamie Menagh scored the winner four minutes into injury time. Ex-Bull Joe Heath started for Chester, while Marlon Jackson came on as a sub for Halifax.

Salisbury say their winding-up petition is due to 'long winded processes' at HMRC failing to register a £10,000 payment in time. A club statement says the FA 'are satisfied that the club has met their financial obligations' and that the matter will be dismissed. The statement also notes that recent postponements have cause cash flow issues at the club.

Chester have announced that Assistant Manager Gary Jones has left the club. Manager Steve Burr is expected to name his own appointment soon. The Blues have also extended their main sponsorship deal with MBNA to the summer of 2016. Lincoln have signed goalkeeper Nick Townsend on loan from Birmingham for an initial month. The 19 year old's only senior experience is with Conf North side Oxford City last term.

Dartford have lost the services of loanee Andy Pugh after Cambridge opted to recall the forward just days after extending his loan with the Darts. Tamworth have signed striker Jessy Reindorf after his release by Bury. The Rwandan international, 22, has had spells in the lower leagues in Belgium, France, and Italy.
