It was a telling weekend of action in the fifth tier, particularly at the top of the table, as York City and the Dale created breathing space between themselves and the chasing pack.

Jimmy McNulty’s side have been going about their business in routine fashion of late and secured their third successive league victory, this time a 2-0 home victory over Truro City.

The result means that Rochdale have won every league match in January without conceding a goal and remain one point behind the Minstermen with three games in hand.

Fans and punters alike have been following every match closely this season, with many engaging in football betting to add extra excitement to the National League drama.

As for Southend, they were involved in one of the clashes of the weekend as they came from two goals down to snatch a 3-3 draw away to Boston United.

Although the Shrimpers have slipped out of the top seven, they do have three games in hand on seventh-place Halifax Town.
