Macclesfield 4-2 Aldershot

A pulsating second half saw Macclesfield take the honours in a six-goal thriller against Aldershot.

Danny Thomas pulled back for Gareth Evans to open the scoring for the Silkmen but Kirk Hudson volleyed in an equaliser three minutes later.

A Danny Thomas brace gave Macclesfield a 3-1 lead, first via a deflected 22-yard shot and then a fizzing drive.

Danny Hilton forced home a second for Aldershot before substitute Francis Green headed in to seal a home win.
