Welling United almost gave away a four-goal lead in their 4-3 win at Tilbury, conceding three in the final ten minutes to make for a nervy finish to the game.
Kieron St Aimie scored in the first minute of the game and two strikes from George Porter before half-time saw the Wings go into the break well on top.
Ricky Wellard made it four on the hour mark, but Jack Carlile’s 82nd-minute goal was followed by efforts from Kurt Smith and Daniel Glozier. Welling, though, hung on for the win.
Wrexham came out on top against Tranmere Rovers, winning 4-2 at Prenton Park. They took the lead in the fourth minute through Wes York and doubled the advantage through Dominic Vose, before Tranmere pulled one back in added time - James Norwood slotting home.
But Sean Newton restored the two-goal cushion on the hour mark and Emmanuel Smith headed in from a corner minutes later. Norwood’s second 10 minutes from time was a mere consolation.
Eight of the scheduled 32 games were postponed due to bad weather and Macclesfield Town v Ashton United became the ninth when it was abandoned at half-time with the home side trailing 2-0.
