Blue Square North leaders Fleetwood Town increased their advantage at the top after second-placed Southport were held to a draw at lowly Redditch United.
Fleetwood beat mid-table Solihull Moors 3-0 at Highbury with goals from Adam Warlow, who bagged a brace in 5 minutes just after the half time interval, and Anthony Barry 3 minutes from time.
Southport, however, will be grateful for a point in the end after trailing Redditch 2-0 going into the final 10 minutes.
Marco Adaggio after 55 minutes and Darren Campion 20 minutes from time had given the hosts` their advantage.
But Earl Davis replied on 80 and then Matty McGinn levelled with less than 5 minutes to go.
Like its southern sister division, the play-off situation is very tight, with anyone in the top ten still in with a shout.
Alfreton Town, Hinckley United and AFC Telford United currently occupy the other top five spots. Hinckley were without a game as they were due to play the sadly now defunct Farsley Celtic, and neither the Reds nor the Bucks could manage a win.
Alfreton went down to a 3-2 defeat at resurgent Gainsborough Trinity, whose Luke Beckett put them in front after 13 minutes.
Paul Clayton levelled on 31 minutes, but before he bagged his second in the last minute, Trinity had notched twice through Lewis McMahon on 35 minutes and Darryn Stamp on 82.
Telford picked up a point from relegation-threatened Hyde United – both goals coming within a minute of each other just after the hour, with Phil Trainer putting Telford ahead and Nathan Arnold levelling immediately afterwards.
Eastwood Town pulled level on points with sixth-placed Droylsden after beating the Bloods, courtesy of a 47th minute Lindon Meikle effort at the Butcher`s Arms, where free admission attracted a bumper 1,296 crowd.
Stalybridge Celtic maintained their challenge by beating bottom-markers Harrogate Town 3-0 at Bower Fold.
Jody Banim gave the home side a 15th minute lead that Conner Jennings eventually added to with a brace in the final 14 minutes.
Workington have a lot to do as they have games in hand, but they are still in with a shout and shared the spoils with the side immediately below trhem, Corby Town, whose Leon Mettam gave them a 7th minute lead that Gareth Arnison cancelled out on 68 minutes.
Mike Symonds scored the crucial goal after 22 minutes that earned Gloucester City a `six-pointer` victory over fellow strugglers Vauxhall Motors at the Corinium Stadium.
Elsewhere, Ilkeston Town beat Blyth Spartans 2-1 at the New Manor Ground, with Amari Morgan-Smith bagging a quickfire brace on 33 and 37 minutes – Robbie Dale reducing the arrears on 53 minutes – and Northwich Victoria and Stafford Rangers shared a 2-2 draw at the Victoria Stadium where Brian Dutton gave Vics an 11th minute lead that Dave McAughtrie cancelled out a minute before the break.
New boy Dominic Merella then put Rangers in front after 58 minutes, but Mark Danks restored parity 10 minutes later.
