Sports Mole rounds up Saturday's action in the Conference Premier as Halifax Town and Forest Green Rovers move two points clear at the top of the table.

Halifax Town and Forest Green Rovers have moved clear at the top of the Conference Premier table after both posted their third successive win on Saturday afternoon.

The Shaymen lead the way on goal difference after two goals from Richard Peniket helped them to a 3-0 win against Welling United, while Rovers eased to a 2-0 success over Alfreton Town.

Eastleigh and Gateshead have extended their unbeaten records after playing out a 2-2 draw at the Silverlake Stadium, while Kidderminster Harriers join them on seven points after edging to a 1-0 win against Dartford.

Macclesfield Town's 100% start came to an end as they were held to a goalless draw by Woking, but Wrexham made it two wins from two with a 1-0 triumph against Nuneaton Town thanks to Louis Moult's early opener.
