Ipswich took control throughout the opening 20 minutes and deservedly led though David McGoldrick's fine strike. Tabb's early strike was marked offside in the opening five minutes.

McCormack grabbed the winner with a low 20-yard shot to strike past Town keeper Loach.

Chesterfield 2-1 Southend

Gnanduillet headed home in a hectic finish which saw Luke Prosser twice denied from a corner at the other end.

Chesterfield had the better chances in the first half and eventually went in front when Conor Clifford fouled Gary Roberts, who curled home the free-kick.

Hurst setup Freddy Eastwood to level the scoreline in the second haf.

But it was not enough as substitute Gnanduillet headed the winner home.

Att: 1,015

Second-half goals from Alan Massey and Liam Enver-Marum secured a comfortable win for Braintree at Dartford.
The Darts had the better of the first half but could not find a way past Braintree keeper Nathan McDonald.
Braintree improved after the break and the deadlock was broken in the 69th minute when Massey rose highest to nod in a free-kick from Kenny Davis.
And Enver-Marum wrapped up the victory for the Iron in the 90th minute when he tucked in a pass form Daniel Sparkes.

Chelmsford 3-2 Staines Town
Att: 602

Brayley's second-half goal gave Chelmsford victory, as they beat Staines Town 3-2 at Melbourne Park.

The Swans took the lead after 16 minutes through Huw Johnson's shot.

Jeff Goulding converted from the penalty spot to equalize. The former Cheltenham striker then put the hosts ahead before the break.

In stoppage time of the first half, Ferguson levelled the scoring to bring Town back into the match.

The second half was a tightly contested encounter, and the Clarets’ patience paid off when Bertie Brayley tapped in to give City their first win.

Dereham Town 2-0 AFC Sudbury
Att: 215

Two second half goals for Dereham saw them take the points as Sudbury were defeated 2-0 at Aldiss Park.

Beaumont 57th minute strike and Smith's late goal sealed the win for the Magpies which played an improved side in the second-half.

Colchester 1-1 Carlisle
PLAYED FRIDAY
Att: 3, 573

Eastwood's 71st minute equalizer rescued a point for Colchester as they drew 1-1 with Carlisle.

Matty Robson fired Carlisle ahead from 20 yards before U's duo Brian Wilson and Jabo Ibehre had shots saved by visiting goalkeeper Mark Gillespie.

The visitors had a goal disallowed as Liam Noble was ruled offside and soon after Sears lashed home a neat chest down from strike partner Gavin Massey.

Ibehre had a good chance to give Colchester victory but his shot drove wide.
