Woods at the double as Hartlepool see off Maidstone

Hartlepool boosted their survival hopes as a 2-1 victory at Maidstone stretched their unbeaten run to five games.

Maidstone responded well, visiting keeper Scott Loach having to work hard to palm a strong Stuart Lewis drive over the bar.But it was Hartlepool who doubled their lead in the 89th minute, Woods notching his second by calmly finishing into the bottom corner. A Ross Lafayette goal for Maidstone made the final moments tense, but Pools held on to take another step towards safety.

Sutton jump to the top with Chester doomed

Sutton moved top of the National League following a 3-2 home victory over relegation-threatened Chester.Harry Beautyman gave the U's the lead in the 13th minute when he smartly turned his marker and fired into the corner.Sutton had a goal disallowed 15 minutes later when Byron Harrison's header was ruled out for offside but the forward made up for it just before half-time with a tap-in from a corner.Chester pulled one back on the hour after James Akintunde won a foul and then got on the end of the resulting free-kick. However, Ross Stearn's 25-yard shot into the top corner regained Sutton's two-goal cushion 11 minutes from time.Chester, though, set up a tense finale when Harry White converted a penalty in the 87th minute after Akintunde was upended but Sutton held on to leapfrog Macclesfield on goal difference.
