The competitiveness of the Blue Square Bet Premier this season can already be seen by the fact that after only five matches, no team possesses an unbeaten record.
AFC Wimbledon survived a second half comeback at Priory Lane against Eastbourne Borough to earn a good 3-2 win.
Danny Kedwell fired the Dons into the lead on 31 minutes and Lee Minshull doubled their advantage in 55th minute.
Simon Weatherstone pulled one back for Boro direct from a free kick in the 69th minute and Andy Atkin restored parity with a 78th minute effort.
But Kedwell popped up in stoppage time to net his second of the game and help the Dons claim the points and top spot.
Luton Town will be left wondering where it all went wrong after they slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Tamworth at The Lamb.
Kyle Perry headed the Lambs ahead on 11 minutes but Tom Craddock pulled his side back into game from the edge of the area just after half time.
However, Tamworth reclaimed the lead through Danny Thomas in the 78th minute and Daniel Bradley made sure of the result with a goal in stoppage time.
Ambitious Crawley Town`s strong start to the season continued as they recorded a comfortable win over Hayes & Yeading United at Church Road.
Hayes started brightly, James Mulley fired over and Elliott Buchanan forced keeper Michel Kuipers into action.
However, Crawley went ahead after 17 minutes when Pablo Mills' free kick was slotted home by an unmarked Craig McAllister.
McAllister doubled the lead with a close range header 9 minutes later before Sergio Torres showed good composure to seal the win 19 minutes from time.
An Earl Davis header was enough to secure a narrow Southport victory at Haig Avenue against neighbouring Fleetwood Town.
Davis powerfully headed home after 31 minutes to extend the Yellows' unbeaten run to four games.
Fleetwood defender Paul Linwood missed a great opportunity to equalise when his tame shot failed to trouble keeper Tony McMillan.
Mansfield Town lifted themselves to fourth place in the table after edging out ten-man Cambridge United at Field Mill.
The pivotal moment of the match arrived on the hour-mark when James Jennings was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area – received a straight red card – and saw Keigan Parker calmly slot home the resulting penalty for the only goal of the game.
A gutsy performance from Bath City secured a draw at the New Lawn against neighbouring Forest Green Rovers, despite having Lewis Hogg sent-off.
Rovers almost took the lead after just 2 minutes but Jon Else's effort came back off the post.
Gavin Caines should have done better when he headed over from six yards and Else hit the post again with a header.
Hogg was dismissed for violent conduct just after the hour-mark but his team-mates were able to cling on despite late pressure from the hosts.
A second successive home win for Rushden & Diamonds provided the perfect preparation ahead of Monday's derby date with A6 neighbours Kettering Town.
Three second half goals against Grimsby Town followed the Diamonds` midweek victory over AFC Wimbledon.
Justin Miller's 41st minute header was cancelled out by Mark Hudson at the start of the second half but Ryan Charles and Rene Howe struck in a 90 second spell around the hour-mark before Max Porter made it 4-1 on 66 minutes.
Two Craig Reid penalties helped Newport County record their first win at Conference Premier level for twenty-one years against Kidderminster Harriers at Spytty Park.
Robbie Matthews opened the scoring on 35 minutes with a superbly struck free kick.
With half time looming, a Keith Briggs hand ball gave Reid a spot-kick, the striker netting his fiftieth Newport goal.
Jack Byrne's foul on ex-Kidderminster man Matthews gave Reid his second penalty after 53 minutes.
Darlington ran out comfortable winners over Gateshead in the first meeting between the sides in 51 years.
Paul Terry got his first goal for the Quakers at the end of a drab first half when he fired into the top corner from Michael Smith's cut-back.
Joe Clarke added a second from the corner of the six-yard area with a right-footed finish.
The visitors looked bright early in the second half but Clarke's goal killed off any hopes of a result.
Kettering Town sealed their first win of the campaign in convincing style at the Glassworld Stadium against Histon.
Jean-Paul Marna gave them an early 4th minute lead from the penalty sport before Serge Makofo on 54 minutes and the returning Marcus Kelly 3 minutes from time rounded it off after the break
A last-gasp own goal by Barrow's Mike Pearson gave Wrexham a hard-fought draw at the Racecourse Ground.
The visitors led from the 23rd minute when Jason Walker's goal against the run of play put them ahead.
But Pearson came on as an 86th minute replacement and moments later put the ball into the back of the net to inadvertedly give the Dragons a share of the spoils.
York City eased mounting pressure on themselves with a comfortable win against now bottom-markers Altrincham at the KitKat Crescent.
Michael Rankine broke the deadlock with 20 minutes remaining and Richard Brodie doubled their advantage from the penalty spot 5 minutes later.
And Rankine popped up again in injury-time to make it 3-0.
