Rotherham United take over at the top of the table following a 3-1 win over Chesterfield at The Don Valley Stadium. Lowry had given the Spirites a 21st lead from the penalty spot. Then after the break, the Millers hit back to claim all three points as Harrison (68th min), Le Fondre (73rd min) and Ellison (81st min) wrapped up the game to send the home side top of the table. Rotherham United 1st, Chesterfield 15th.

AFC Bournemouth lifted themselves up to second following a 2-1 away win against Torquay United at Plainmoor. Pitman gave the Cherries a 49th minute lead, with Todd equalising in the 64th minute, leaving Cherries hero Fletcher to score the winner in the 87th minute. Torquay United 17th, AFC Bournemouth 2nd.

Dagenham & Redbridge were held to a 1-1 draw by Cheltenham Town at Whaddon Road. Benson gave the Daggers a 49th minute lead, only to see Townsend level with 9 minutes to go. Cheltenham Town 11th, Dagenham & Redbridge 3rd.

Barnet had gone top of League Two with a Friday night win over Northampton Town at Sixfields. Marshall had given the Cobblers a 30th minute lead, only to see the Bees hit back in the second half. Deen levelled in the 51st minute, with veteran Furlong edging Barnet ahead in the 68th minute, with O'Flynn extending the lead in the 71st minute. Northampton Town 16th, Barnet 4th.

Big spending Notts County were thwarted by near neighbours, Burton Albion at Meadow Lane. Hawley gave County in the 54th minute, with Walker levelling in the 84th minute. Notts County 6th, Burton Albion 8th.

Aldershot Town left it very late to salvage a point against Hereford United at The Recreation Ground. A Plummer brace in the 4th (pen) and 78th minutes gave the visitors a lead going in to the final ten minutes, but blew it when Hylton pulled one back in the 86th minute with Morgan levelling a minute later. Aldershot Town 7th, Hereford United 21st.

Shrewsbury Town have are hardly showing form, at the moment, which suggests that they are going to be contenders for promotion and have an even won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 record in theor first 6 matches. Visitors to the New Meadow, Bradford City made off with a 2-1 win. Evans (16th min) and Flynn (35th min) gave City a 2-goal half time lead. Hibbert pulled one back for Town in the 70th minute, but it wasn't enough. Shrewsbury Town 14th, Bradford City 9th.

It looks like it's going to a long season for Grimsby Town. Only avoiding relegation last season thanks to others having hefty points deductions, they are hardly setting the world alight this season. A thumping 4-0 defeat on the road against Port Vale at Vale Park is not going to help the cause! Dodds gave Vale a 43rd minute lead, which was added to after the break by Fraser (68th min), Owen (87th min) and Collins (90th min). Grimsby's cause wasn;t helped when Boshell was sent off in the 85th minute. Port Vale 10th, Grimsby Town 23rd.

Darlington are still searching for their first League win of the season following a 3-0 thumping at Sincil Bank against Lincoln City. Howe gave the home side a 3rd minute lead, which he added to himself on the half hour. Fagan put the result beyond doubt with a 3rd in the 55th minute. Lincoln City 12th, Darlington 24th.

Morecambe are another still searching for the first League win of the season, having been thwarted by Rochdale at Christie Park, playing out a 3-3 draw on Friday evening. All was looking good for the home side as they raced in to a 3-0 half time lead with goals from Jevons (33rd and 42nd mins) and Craney (38th min), only to see 'Dale hit back after the break through Dagnall (48th min), Thompson (64th min) and Stevens (76th min) for a share of the spoils. Morecambe 22nd, Rochdale 13th.

Bury seem to have a hangover from last seasons play-off disappointment as they slipped at home 2-0 to crisis club Accrington Stanley. A Grant brace in the 83rd and 85th minutes proved enough to sink the home club on their own patch for the 3rd time this season, leaving Bury without a point and no goals in front of their own fans. Bury 19th, Accrington Stanley 18th.
