A competitive weekend of Sky Bet League Two action saw twists across the division, with the race for promotion and the battle at the bottom both tightening after another full round of fixtures.

League leaders Bromley were held to a goalless draw at Chesterfield but remain top on 52 points.

Swindon Town stay second despite slipping to a 3-2 defeat at Salford City, who move level on 46 points with Walsall — the Saddlers strengthening their automatic promotion push with a convincing 3-1 win at Tranmere Rovers.

MK Dons maintained their promotion challenge with a 2-0 victory at Accrington Stanley, while Cambridge United kept pace thanks to a 2-1 win away at Fleetwood Town.

Notts County remain seventh despite falling to a narrow defeat at Crawley Town.

There were important results elsewhere in the top half, with Crewe Alexandra climbing to 10th after a 3-1 win over Barrow, and Colchester United securing a valuable 1-0 success at Bristol Rovers to move ninth.

Oldham Athletic also added three points with a 2-1 home win against Cheltenham Town.

At the foot of the table, Harrogate Town remain in the relegation zone after a 1-0 defeat at Shrewsbury. Newport County stay bottom on 17 points — despite twice levelling in a dramatic encounter at Gillingham, where Garath McCleary struck a 99th‑minute winner to seal a thrilling 3-2 victory for the Gills and lift them to 14th.

Elsewhere, Grimsby Town and Barnet shared a point in a 1-1 draw as the mid‑table picture remains tightly packed.

With just 10 points separating third from ninth and plenty of movement below them, the Sky Bet League Two promotion race remains one of the most fiercely contested in the EFL.
