DEMPSTER'S SUPER SUB SENSATION! Youngster earns Solihull first points.

Harrogate Town ......................... 0 Solihull Moors .............................1 ROSS Dempster stepped off the bench to fire home a stunning winning goal to earn his side their first points of the season.

Solihull had started well and on five minutes Liam Daly headed on a corner to Indy Khera who hit the foot of the post.

Harrogate hit back and Simon Weaver's header was cleared off the line by Solihull skipper, Lee Downes.

Solihull were creating the clear-cut chances and twice Junior English tested the keeper inside three minutes.

Solihull's new full-back, Darren Stapleton, was having a good game and he fired a free kick just wide.

Solihull again started the second half well and for the second time in the game, Khera hit the Harrogate post as Stapleton's corner kick was only half-cleared.

Solihull's decision to throw on their youngsters towards the end of this game paid off handsomely on 78 minutes when Solihull got the goal they deserved when youth team player, Dempster turned and fired home from fully 30 yards out.

Stafford Rangers ........................ 2 Farsley Celtic.............................. 2 STAFFORD Rangers had to settle for the share of the spoils in a thoroughly entertaining clash at Marston Road.

Rangers dictated the first period and were given an excellent start when the former Wolves academy player Fabrice Kasiama fired them ahead after just six minutes with a fierce left-foot drive from 25 yards.

The home side continued to put Farsley under heavy pressure and striker Ben Mills had a couple of efforts on target, but was denied while his fellow striker Nick Wellecomme also went close.

Rangers continued to go in search of a second goal and Mills was inches off target in 22 minutes, but then the visitors got back on level terms just a minute later.

A corner from Dominic Krief was only half cleared and Matthew Young fired in a low shot past the unsighted home keeper, Danny Allen.

But five minutes later Rangers restored their lead when Ross Davidson won the ball and picked out Mills who in turn lobbed the ball over the Farsley defence to Wellecomme who netted his first of the season.

After the break Farsley came more and more into the match and certainly put Rangers under heavy pressure, drawing level through Lee Ellington.

It was chiefly Farsley looking for the winner in the closing stages and Ellington had a shot turned away by Allen before the unmarked Liam Shepherd fired over from close range with the goal at his mercy.

Gainsborough ............................. 0 AFC Telford .................................1 AFC TELFORD got back to winning ways thanks to a late Carl Rodgers goal at Gains- borough. The Bucks bossed the match and created a hatful of chances.

But it looked like they would be heading home frustrated until Rodgers popped up with the winner six minutes from time.

He fired low into the bottom corner after Steve Torpey's corner had been cleared straight to his feet.

Telford had lost midfielder Jon Adams to a hamstring injury after just 14 minutes but did not let that setback throw them out of their stride.

Their best chance of the first period came on 41 minutes when Lee Vaughan crossed for Andy Brown, who leapt well but headed wide.

Gainsborough made three changes at half time, including taking off injured goalkeeper Phil Barnes.

And Telford continued to press in a bid to test the rookie substitute. Gavin Cowan and Liam Blakeman both hit the woodwork before Rodgers had the final say.

Northwich Victoria ..................... 0 Redditch United.......................... 2 A LATE Gary Hay goal sealed a fine win and the first points of the season for Redditch.

Hay's header from David Bridgewater came on 88 minutes after Liam Francis had given them a first half lead.

Francis also scored with a header from a Bridgewater corner on 43 minutes shortly after he had a similar effort cleared off the line.

Redditch were forced to soak up a lot of Northwich pressure early on, but came into the game as it progressed. Former Halesowen and Worcester City forward Mark Danks made his debut after signing on Friday and produced a solid performance.

He might have got on the score sheet, but scuffed two shots in front of goal, although he generally impressed.

Substitute Andy Ducros also had two good chances which he couldn't convert as Redditch pressed hard in the later stages of the game.

Northwich's best chance came when Mike Connors' looping header looked to be just over the line, but it was flagged offside anyway.

Hinckley United ...........................1 Vauxhall Motors ..........................1

VAUXHALL Motors hit top gear late in the game to grab a point at fellow mid-table rivals Hinckley.

Lee Furlong snatched the vital goal in the 70th minute, bundling in from close range after Knitters keeper Chris MacKenzie failed to hold on to a shot.

Earlier Adam Webster had enjoyed a slice of good fortune two minutes after the break when his miscued shot from a Neil Cartwright cross wrong-footed teenage keeper Danzelle St. Louis-Hamilton and found the corner of the net.

The young stopper, who is on loan from Premiership Stoke City, was in the thick of the action during a busy second half and made further saves to deny Webster and Cartwright.

Cartwright was also robbed of a superb goalscoring opportunity by team-mate Matt West who nicked an inviting cross off his head with the goal at his mercy.

Webster endured a similar fate when teammate Andy Hall went for the same ball, denying the ex-Worcester City hitman a second decisive goal of the match.

ELSEWHERE, Southport needed a 90th minute goal to salvage a 1-1 draw with Alfreton Town after Paul Clayton had given his side the lead on the stroke of half time.

Hyde United thought they had done enough to earn all three points against newly promoted Ilkeston Town but Amari Morgan-Smith stepped up in injury time to score a late penalty and claim a share of the spoils.

Corby Town continued their fantastic start to life in the Blue Square North by coming from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win and go two points clear at the top of the table against Blyth Spartans.
