Eastleigh kept up the pace at the top of the National League with a 1-0 win over Tamworth at the Silverlake Stadium.

The Spitfires – beaten by leaders Gateshead last weekend for their first defeat of the season – took the lead through Paul McCallum in the sixth minute.

Promoted as National League North champions last season, Tamworth slowly grew into the game with Tom McGlinchey making a dangerous run into the penalty area before a timely tackle thwarted him.

The Lambs continued to push for an equaliser in the second half, with Christophe Wreh nodding over and defender Haydn Hollis seeing his header from a free-kick drop just wide as Eastleigh held out.
