Rochdale are now third in the table after they defeated Accrington Stanley 3-2 at home, in a match played at Dark Lane, Rossendale United FC. All the goals coming in the second-half as the 'Dale went 3-0 up through Tom Bentham, Scott Hogan and Callum Byrne before Stanley pulled back two goals, one of them from the penalty spot, in the last 20 minutes, to make it a nervy finish for the home side.
Elsewhere in the division Wrexham remained unbeaten with a 2-1 win at Oldham, the match taking place at Hyde United's Ewen Fields. Wrexham 2-0 up at the interval thanks to Adrian Cielewicz and a Lamine Sakho spot-kick, the goal that would only prove to be a consolation for the Latics coming from the boot of Kieran Lee 15 minutes from time.
As we already know Carlisle won 4-1 at Morecambe to remain at the top of the table, Tony Kane, Craig Lindfield, Gavin Rothery and Ryan Bowman scoring for United while Henry McStay netted for the Shrimps.
