The late Tuesday review, but it`s here, wish I could travel in time!

So the second run of fixtures for the BSB Premier saw a heavy defeat for Grimsby`s next opponents, Hayes & Yeading away at Eastbourne, as well as victories for AFC Wimbledon, Gateshead , Bath, Fleetwood, Forest Green, Luton and Southport.

Hayes & Yeading were taken apart at Eastbourne Borough, with the Borough 2-0 up at half time, goals from Elphick (31) and Pacquette (45). Their dominance continued in the second half, with Crabb (71) and Taylor (73) making it four, before Pacquette got on at the end of the second half, like he did the first, to make it 5-0.

AFC Wimbledon got two goals in injury time at the end of the game from a penalty scored by Kedwell (90+2) and with Wellard a minute later, given them victory over John Beck`s Histon.

Despite going down 1-0 at Barrow through a goal from Boyd (30), Gateshead managed a 3-1 victory, Brittain (34, pen 83) and Turnbull (70) turning round a 3-1 victory for the North East side.

Another turn round for Bath City, who went 1-0 down against Rushden and Diamonds with a 6 minute Porter goal. In the second half, goals from Connolly (46) and Edwards (58) saw a surprising win for The Romans.

Fleetwood, the money men of the League, secured an excellent victory against another high flying team, Mansfield Town. Goals from Curtis (6) and two from Vieira (19, 34) saw the match completed before half time with a 3-0 victory.

Another recent ex League team, Wrexham also lost 3-0 away against Forest Green. Styche (20), Jones (75) and Klukowski (80) did the damage against Dean Saunders men.

Kettering had a bad game at home to Luton Town, losing 2 men – Christie and Roper – to sendings off. Luton enjoyed their dominance with a hatrick from Barnes-Homer (pen 25, 73, pen 84) with the aforementioned Christie equalising for Kettering on 32.

A seven goal thriller at Kidderminster saw Southport gain the upper hand. Briscoe (5) put the Harriers 1-0 up before McNeil scored twice for Southport (34, 48) to take the initiative. Wright equalised on (58) before Southport put themselves 4-2 ahead with two from McGinn (74, pen 85). The goals hadn`t finished, Williams on 88 to make things uncomfortable for the Sandgrounders with minutes to go.

Elsewhere, draws for Grimsby v York, who saw out an entertaining goal-less battle, Newport and Tamworth finished 1-1, Altrincham and Darlington 2-2 and Cambridge v Crawley also finished with two goals apiece.
