But the Angels had to make do with just one point after battling back for a 2-2 draw at the Moatside Stadium against Merstham.

The Beavers recorded a similar outcome at the Beveree against inconsistent Grays Athletic. But it wasn`t until the hour-mark that the home side made the breakthrough, thanks to Nicke Kabamba.

Moussa Diarra added a second on 79 minutes and Kabamba`s second a minute from time rendered Bradley Fortnam-Tomlinson`s injury-time reply as just a consolation.

Bottom-markers Lewes picked up only their eighth point of the season to date in holding eighth-placed Leiston to a 1-1 draw at the Dripping Pan.

Cory Whitely gave Town a 17th minute lead that Luke Ingram eventually cancelled out seven minutes into the second period. But just two minutes later Harold Joseph restored the visitors` lead.

Nathan Livings made it 3-1 two minutes after that but a penalty from Kemal Izzet four minutes from time led to a nervy end, Town holding on to leap-frog the hosts in the table.

Burgess Hill Town moved into tenth place – a place and two points behind victims Canvey Island after a 3-2 success at Leylands Park.

Harrison Chatting put the Gulls in the lead after 18 minutes, only for Joe Keehan to level from the spot nine minutes later. Four minutes after the interval Chris Smith had the Hillians in the lead for the first time and on 67 minutes Keehan increased that advantage.
