Now for a moment of bare faced cheek from the Blue Square South.
Monday's match between Havant and Waterlooville and Dorchester Town was interrupted by a streaker, wearing only a bright green mankini and comedy wig. The culprit managed to escape the attention of stewards, before being tackled to the ground by Dorchester's player-manager Ashley Vickers.
Vicker's decision to take the incident into his own hands led to him being controversially sent off for violent conduct, despte protests from his teammates.
Havant and Waterlooville went on to win the game 3-1 but will now face an FA charge of spectator misconduct.
And Monday night's result keeps Havant and Waterlooville in touching distance of the play-offs. Steve Devlin's goal for the away side gave Dorchester an early lead, but goals from Mustafa Tiryaki, Wes Fogden and Steve Ramsey gave the Hawks all three points.
Eastleigh consolidated their play-off place with a 1-0 win at home to Bromley last night. Mark Nwokeji with the winner.
And Basingstoke ended their 7-match winless streak with a 3-0 win away to Thurrock. Strikers Greg Draper and Delano Sam-Yorke were amongst the scorers.
Well thats all from me this week, back to Katie
