Notts County continued their promotion charge as a first-half strike from Matt Palmer sealed a 1-0 win over Boreham Wood at Meadow Lane.
The former Rotherham midfielder struck in the 14th minute when he lashed into the top corner following excellent work from Jayden Richardson.
It was the least Notts deserved for an excellent first-half display which saw them create several excellent chances but were unable to take them.
Luke Garrard's side did come back into the game towards the end of the first half with Sam Slocombe saving from Tyrone Marsh and Danilo Orsi.
Notts attempted to kill the game off after the break as Alex Lacey and Ruben Rodrigues went close but there were no late scares for the hosts as they moved up to sixth in the table.
Sam Slocombe: Recalled to the side in the absence of Vitezslav Jaros who is on international duty and did well. Made two smart stops with the one from Danilo Orsi being the pick of them. 7
Jayden Richardson: Not for the first time in recent weeks he found himself one on one with the goalkeeper but just took a heavy touch. Had an excellent game mind. 8
Connell Rawlinson: Had a solid game at centre-back and headed and kicked anything that ventured into his domain. Adds steel to the defence and a willingness to do the dirty side really well. 7
Alex Lacey: Nice and sharp when it came to making challenges. Reads the game really well and this was another fine performance from the ex-Gillingham defender. 8
Adam Chicksen: Nutmegged two players in the same game and was so bright. Looked like he was really enjoying himself and was crisp in possession. 7
Dion Kelly-Evans: Played on the left-hand side despite being naturally right-footed and almost grabbed himself a goal with a terrific long-range effort. 8
Frank Vincent: Full of energy and liked up well in attack. Never stops running and picks up positions that can really hurt the opposition. Good awareness in that respect. 7
Harry Arter: Showed why he has graced the Premier League. Always aware of what was going on around him and has added some bite to the midfield in terms of his tackling. 7
Matt Palmer: Grabbed his second goal of the season with a terrific finish and buzzed around midfield with intensity and authority. A class act. 8
Ruben Rodrigues: Was just a delight to watch at times. Whether it be defence-splitting passes or wonderful moments of individual quality, he was an absolute joy. 8
Kyle Wootton: Was strong with his back to goal, linked up well with the midfielders and put his bundle in epitomised by racing back to make a challenge on the halfway line. Classy. 8
