ALTRINCHAM deservedly extended their unbeaten run to four games with a 1-0 victory at Bootham Crescent.

AFTER handing out a 6-0 thrashing to Curzon Ashton, Altrincham again hit four second-half goals, this time against Chester, to bring their week's tally to 10 without reply in back-to-back National League North victories.

ALTRINCHAM recorded their biggest away win for almost six years with a 6-0 victory over a Curzon Ashton side which had recently risen up the National League North table after taking 19 points from their previous eight matches.

ALTRINCHAM'S rainbow-coloured shirts, worn in support of the Football v Homophobia campaign, created more of a stir before kick off than the 90 minutes of run-of-the-mill fare that followed on the pitch in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Bradford (Park Avenue).

ALTRINCHAM secured a fine 2-1 win at FC United of Manchester in National League North but suffered a double defensive injury blow inside the first half hour to tarnish celebrations.

THE same Altrincham XI which had beaten in-form Southport last time out, put in a woeful first-half performance against a Leamington side, which started the match without a win in its previous 10 games, and lost 3-0 in National League North.

SOUTHPORT arrived in Altrincham unbeaten in their previous dozen league matches but they left the J.Davidson Stadium with the Robins having completed a deserved league double against them after a 1-0 victory.

ALTRINCHAM'S play-off aspirations took a heavy blow after a disastrous second-half at Chorley saw them lose 4-1.

ALTRINCHAM jumped back into the National League North play-off places and ended a disappointing sequence of five matches without a win with a deserved 2-1 triumph at Boston United on Saturday.

ALTRINCHAM'S poor record at Guiseley continued last weekend when they drew 2-2 in the final National League North outing of 2018.
