Sports Mole rounds up Saturday's action in the Conference Premier as Halifax Town and Forest Green Rovers move two points clear at the top of the table.

Halifax Town and Forest Green Rovers have moved clear at the top of the Conference Premier table after both posted their third successive win on Saturday afternoon.
