Michael Steward reviews how the region's teams fared this weekend from Brentford's last-minute strike gaining valuable Championship points, to the Ryman Premier Division and Leatherhead celebrating an away victory
Brentford continued their Championship play-off charge as Alex Pritchard’s goal sealed a 1-0 victory at Leeds United.
Pritchard’s 65th minute strike ensured an excellent three points for Mark Warburton’s team, who move up to fourth in the table. It will be fourth against sixth on Tuesday night (Feb 10), as The Bees welcome Watford to Griffin Park.
A goal in each half from Adebayo Akinfenwa saw AFC Wimbledon defeat Newport County 2-0 at home in League Two. Akinfenwa also missed a penalty in the win, which moved The Dons up to 12th, five points off the play-off places.
Woking were beaten 2-1 away at league leaders Barnet in the Vanarama Conference and saw defender Joe McNerney sent off in the first half.
The visitors were already two goals behind before Yemi Odubade pulled a goal back in the 79th minute, but Barnet held on for the win.
Sutton United drew 0-0 away at Concord Rangers in the Conference South in a game that saw Sutton’s Glen Southam red carded. Southam will now miss the next six games after an accumulation of disciplinary offences.
In the Ryman Premier, Leatherhead recorded a 3-2 away victory at Witham Town and Kingstonian took all three points back from Suffolk with a 1-0 away win over Leiston. Hampton and Richmond suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Tonbridge Angels.
