Tuesday’s Blue Square Bet Premier Wrap

Fleetwood Town showed just why they are at the top of the league standings with a massive victory over Ebbsfleet United at Highbury on Tuesday night.

David Bayliss’ Barrow maintained their impressive run of form at Holker Street as Alex-Ray Harvey’s 73rd-minute goal helped them to a 1-0 win against promotion-chasing Luton Town.

Nas Bashir’s Hayes & Yeading United did their survival prospects no harm as a 38th-minute effort from Michael Thalassitis fired them to a 1-0 victory against bottom-of-the-table Bath City at Twerton Park.

Micky Mellon’s Fleetwood Town bounced back to winning ways with a 6-2 demolition of Ebbsfleet United at Highbury.

Liam Enver-Marum fired the fleet into the lead after 15 minutes but the hosts responded well by racing into a three-goal lead thanks to goals from Gareth Seddon (16), Peter Cavanagh (23), Jamie Vardy (29) and Andy Mangan (pen 43).

A brace from Vardy (48, 58) after the half-time break put the Fishermen in a commanding position before Enver-Marum popped up in the 86th minute to net his second of the evening.

David Hockaday’s Forest Green Rovers recorded back-to-back victories with a 3-1 triumph over strugglers Kettering Town at Nene Park.

A first-half double from Jamie Collins (2, 40) gave the hosts the lead heading into the half-time break before Yan Klukowski netted on 77 minutes to give the visitors a comfortable advantage.

Danny Mills found the back of the net in the 90th minute for Kettering but it was nothing more than a consolation as the Rovers cruised to a convincing victory.

Second-placed Wrexham remain hot on the heels of leaders Fleetwood as player-manager Andy Morrell’s 45th-minute strike helped the Red Dragons to a 1-0 win over play-off hopefuls Kidderminster Harriers at Aggborough.

Paul Cox’s Mansfield Town kept their play-off aspirations alive with a comfortable 5-2 victory over relegation-threatened Darlington at Field Mill.

The Quakers got off to a flying start as Marc Bridge-Wilkinson fired them into the lead after just three minutes. However, the goal only served to spur the Stags on as goals from John Dempster (15) and Matt Green (44) gave the visitors a slender half-time lead.

Green bagged his second of the evening on 70 minutes before John McReady pulled one back for Darlington just two minutes later.

Green was a real thorn in the side’s of visitors’ defence and earned his side a penalty before tucking it away on 75 minutes to make it 4-2.

Substitute Louis Briscoe added further gloss to the scoreline with a goal in the 86th to make it 5-2 to the hosts.

Marcus Law’s Tamworth rallied from a goal down to earn a 2-1 win against Newport County at the Lamb Ground.

Sam Foley put the Exiles ahead on six minutes with a well-struck penalty and the visitors looked to be heading for a narrow win before a late double from the hosts.

Scott Barrow leveled matters with an 83rd-minute effort before substitute Danny Thomas popped up two minutes later to seal the points in Tamworth’s favour.
