Eleven Blue Square Premier fixtures took place on Saturday afternoon with a bumper forty goals being scored. The headline score of the afternoon came at Kenilworth Road as Luton ran riot with an astonishing glut of seven goals in twenty-eight minutes on route to an 8-0 win against Hayes and Yeading.

The two sides above Luton also won. Stevenage had no issues in coming away from Crawley with a 3-0 win while Oxford left it late to earn three points. Matt Green's stoppage time winner secureda 2-1 home win over Gateshead. This maintains Stevenage's five point lead at the top ahead of Oxford going into Tuesday's massive tie between the two clubs.

Craig Farrell secured Rushden a win at Wimbledon to leave his side fourth, while York hold the final playoff place despite only drawing 1-1 at home with Tamworth. Kettering and Mansfield drew 2-2 at Rockingham Road, doing neither side any favour as their playoff hopes look to be fading. Jon Challinor was on the scoresheet for The Stags.

Grays could be relegated on Tuesday as they find themselves sixteen points from safety following Danny Crow's hattrick for an improving Cambridge United. Forest Green secured a vital comeback, beating Altrincham 4-3 at The New Lawn after being 3-1 down at half time. This sees them climb above Ebbsfleet, who were not in action after being scheduled to play Chester.

The other side in the drop zone is Eastbourne, who failed to capitalise on a one man advantage at Barrow and succumbed to a 3-2 defeat. Andy Bond struck two penalties to secure a comeback victory that lifts The Bluebirds to the heights of sixteenth with a fourth straight league win.

Elsewhere Salisbury climbed to five points above the drop with a surprise 1-0 success at Aggborough in a result which saw Kidderminster drop to twelfth. The final match of the afternoon saw Wrexham's eight match winless run come to an end with a 3-0 home win against Histon, who had Adam Bygrave sent off.
