Hatters lose ground in title race

With Town in FA Trophy action, Dons recovered from their home defeat to Wrexham on Tuesday night to ease past Altrincham 4-1 thanks to Danny Kedwell’s hat-trick.

The victory saw Wimbledon move 12 points clear of fourth-placed Luton, although Richard Money’s side do have five games in hand and still hold a superior goal difference.

Crawley left it late once more, as skipper Pablo Mills scored for the second successive match to earn the Red Devils a 3-2 triumph over Barrow.

Steve Evans’ side are now nine points clear of Hatters, and have played the same amount of games.

Wrexham remained third despite a 1-0 loss at Kidderminster, who climbed into the play-off places as a result at the expense of Fleetwood Town who were beaten 1-0 by rock bottom Eastbourne Borough.

Town are back in Blue Square Bet Premier action on Tuesday night when they visit Forest Green Rovers, while Wimbledon travel to Hayes & Yeading and Crawley host Mansfield.
