Leaders Plymouth maintained their five-point lead at the top, a four-one win at Home Park against fellow West Country side Yeovil ensured the Pilgrims would keep that gap regardless.

Doncaster’s two-one win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth made it back-to-back defeats for Pompey and kept Donny in second, Pompey remain in the play-offs.

Carlisle climbed up into third with a two-nil win against Colchester at Brunton Park keeping Keith Curle’s side as the only unbeaten side in the division.

With Cheltenham collecting a point at a Luton side pushing for promotion (at this stage) the Robins’ one-one draw saw them out of the bottom two, they leapt above Exeter who were beaten one-nil at Wycombe.

Crawley climbed into the play-off with a one-nil win against Blackpool (who couldn’t follow up an impressive win against Pompey in the midweek prior) with Hartlepool heading towards the play-offs themselves with a three-nil win at Grimsby seeing the Mariners down to ninth and Pools up to midtable but just three-points off the top seven.
