Two of the three games planned for tonight were postponed, presumably due to the weather.

In the game that did proceed, Alfreton took all three points on their visit to Oxford.

The result saw them leapfrog Lynn, who are now down to 9th in the table.

3rd loss on the bounce for Lynn as they go down 2-1 away at South Shields.

Margetts returns to starting line up but misses from the spot.

Att: 2622.

Elsewhere, Scunthorpe also lose again (at home) with Chorley winning their home game.

From the FSA:

"We were delighted to welcome Blyth Spartans into our family of community-owned clubs this week, following the formation of its Community Interest Company (CIC).

Spartans move into community ownership with immediate effect, ending a period of uncertainty under previous owner Irfan Liaquat which led to home games being postponed following the resignation of key club officials and volunteers.

Kevin Miles, chief executive of the Football Supporters’ Association, said: "Community ownership of a football club through a CIC, with the involvement of fans and the local community, is the best guarantee of a permanent future for a club.

"I am delighted a new era of community and supporter ownership of the club has begun."

Following yesterdays budget, people will have their own opinions on what the budget is going to deliver, but I'm wondering how it will affect Football and in particulars cash strapped Clubs in NL, NLN and NLS?

With the onus of tax increases being placed firmly at the door of the business sector, many of whom are still trying to recover from the problems Covid gave them, followed by the current war in The Ukraine, any kind of increase in outgoings must make business owners feel as if they are being kicked while they are down.

How will it affect Full Time Non League Clubs? I presume that full time footballers are employed in the same manner as other employed people? 

If Clubs are running with a 20 plus playing staff, that's going to be one hell of a lot more money going out the door, at the same time as income revenues will continue to be restricted due to the general cost of living (and now also with the expected cost of mortgages increasing).

A 2-1 away win for Linnets.

Jones saves penalty.

Lynn then go one down before coming from behind to secure all three points.

Att:1,155.

Lynn move up to 2nd place in table.

No goals at the Walks today.

Kings Lynn 0 v Leamington 0.

Att: 1011.
