Tyson Fury wasn’t the only heavyweight landing knockout blows in his title fight with Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas before The Non-League Paper started hitting newsstands today.
Chesterfield’s very own Tyson – Nathan – climbed off the bench against relegation rivals Ebbsfleet United to land a hat-trick of blows as one of the National League‘s big-hitters fights to avoid being knocked out of Non-League’s top flight.
The 4-0 win capped a great week for John Pemberton, already on the pages of Sunday’s paper giving his reaction to being handed the hot-seat on a permanent basis before guiding the Spireites to within a point of safety.
Leaders Barrow dropped points in BT Sport’s live Saturday night game at Sutton United and Harrogate Town won to close the gap at the top as an action-packed – and storm-free Saturday – is covered with exclusive pictures and reports from all three divisions of the National League.
