Wycombe Wanderers continue to slip away from the automatic promotion places following a 1-1 draw against Shrewsbury Town, who claimed a remarkable 12th away draw of the season. Holt gave the Chairboys a 29th minute lead at Adams Park, with Davies levelling in the 75th minute. Wycombe Wanderers 5th, Shrewsbury Town 7th.

Chesterfield enhanced their play-off credentials as they claimed a 2-1 win over Port Vale at Saltergate. A Lester brace in the 68th and 74th minutes drew a response from Marshall in the 77th minute. Chesterfield 9th, Port Vale 18th.

Dagenham & Redbridge got back to winning ways in front of their own fans at Victoria Road with a 2-1 win over Macclesfield.

Darlington edged out Barnet at Underhill, claiming a single goal win when Abbott netted the only goal of the game in the 66th minute. Barnet 20th, Darlington 11th.

Luton Town continue to give themselves a chance to beat the drop to the Conference with another win. THis time their victims were Morecambe at Christie Park.

Lincoln City and Notts County battled away for a 1-1 draw at Sincil Bank. Facey gave County a 64th minute lead with Mullarkey levelling 3 minutes later. Lincoln City 13th, Notts County 17th.

Aldershot Town will be thankful they've already gained enough points to avoid the drop as their poor recent run continued against Grimsby Town at Blundell Park. A Conlon penalty in the 82nd minute was enough for the home side to edge 3 points clear of the drop zone. Grimsby Town 22nd, Aldershot Town 14th.
