Here’s our selection of Saturday’s top performers.

Aldershot Town closed the gap at the top to four points as leaders Macclesfield Town could only draw at home to relegation battling Solihull Moors.
The Shots became just the second team this season to win at their promotion rivals Dover Athletic.
Sutton United and Wrexham also made ground on the table toppers. United won at Gateshead while the Dragons swept aside rock bottom Torquay United by four unanswered goals.
There was joy for struggling Chester, who shocked Ebbsfleet United at Stonebridge Road while their relegation rivals Guiseley were hammered at Eastleigh.
Dagenham & Redbridge returned to winning ways by handsomely seeing off Hartlepool United and there were more goals at the Laithwaite Community Stadium as Woking drew 4-4 with Maidstone United.
Micky Mellon’s Tranmere Rovers rescued a late point at Barrow to stay in the play-off places as AFC Fylde moved into the top half with a third consecutive win at Bromley.
Leyton Orient were held to a stalemate by Boreham Wood and so too were Maidenhead United at home to FC Halifax Town.
