There were three 0-0 draws in the Blue Square North on Saturday, yet plenty more at Droylsden and Hyde United made up for the lack of goals in those matches where newly-promoted Eastwood Town find themselves top of the table.
The Badgers beat Blyth Spartans 4-2 at Coronation Park, coming back from being a 3rd minute goal behind when new signing Paul Brayson gave the visitors the lead.
Ian Holmes equalised 8 minutes later and just 2 minutes on the home side were ahead with Danny Holland the scorer.
Lindon Meikle made it 3-1 with only 28 minutes gone, but that`s how the scoreline remained until Kenny Boyle pulled Spartans back into the game with 20 minutes to go.
But a Peter Knox effort in stoppage time ensured the points stayed in Nottinghamshire.
Droylsden are second after demolishing Stafford Rangers 7-1 at the Butcher`s Arms.
Tony Gray put the Bloods in front after 14 minutes and Neil Sorvel doubled that on 28 minutes, with Simon Yeo adding a third 7 minutes before the break.
Andy Brown scored the fourth on 64 minutes, with Nick Wellecomme netting some sort of consolation for Rangers on 78, only for an Alex Meechan penalty and seconds for Sorvel and Brown to net three more times in the final 8 minutes.
Former Notts County favourite Mark Stallard pounced to net the only goal of the game at the Rockingham Triangle to earn Corby Town the points against Northwich Victoria, while Glynn Hurst did likewise for Gainsborough Trinity at Solihull Moors in the 32nd minute just ahead of Brian Little`s arrival as manager.
Adam Webster put Hinckley United in front after 68 minutes at Haig Avenue, but Southport earned a point when Ciaran Kilheeney equalised with less than 2 minutes to go.
Alfreton Town went nap at Ewen Fields against Hyde United, with Anthony Howell`s 14th minute penalty giving the Reds the lead.
Matty Burke made it 2-0 after 28 minutes and Anton Brown added a third just before the interval.
David McNiven pulled the Tigers briefly back into the game on the hour-mark, buty a Paul Clayton double on 71 and 85 minutes sealed the 5-1 outcome.
The day`s other winners were AFC Telford United, who edged out Harrogate Town 2-1 at the New Bucks Head.
Steve Torpey broke the deadlock by giving the home side the lead on the hour-mark an d5 minutes later Phil Trainer added a second.
But Brian Dutton`s 76th minute reply for Town made it a nervy finale for the majority in the 1,557 crowd.
The games between Redditch United and Fleetwood Town at the Valley Stadium, Vauxhall Motors and Gloucester City at Rivacre Road and at Borough Park between Workington and Ilkeston Town all ended in goalless draws.
However, perhaps the best story of the day was the fact that Farsley Celtic actually played their home game against Stalybridge Celtic.
The fact they lost 2-1 to goals from John Hardiker and Steve Woods p new man Ben Muirhead replying - is almost irrelevant - they played, that was the most important thing!
