Car crash keeps Stanley goalkeeper out of key win

LEADERS ACCRINGTON STANLEY recorded their sixth win in a row despite being without goalkeeper Aaron Chapman, who went to hospital after being involved in a car accident on his way to the game.

MANSFIELD to win 2-1 with goals from James Collins and Glen Rea. Third-placed WYCOMBE also staged a recovery, having faced a shock loss when Martyn Woolford put struggling GRIMSBY in front. Adam El-Abd and Scott Kashket scored against the Marriners, who have now gone 20 games without a win. Bottom club BARNET were thrashed 4-1 as new STEVENAGE boss Dino Maamria collected his first win, Danny Newton and Alex Revell scored two goals each.

FOREST GREEN ROVERS were twice caught cold as they lost 2-1 at home to COLCHESTER, conceding goals to Drey Wright then Ben Stevenson in the first minute of each half.
