Wrexham claimed a 2-0 win at home over Eastleigh to close the gap on National League leaders Leyton Orient and Salford.
James Jennings and Bobby Grant were both on target as the Dragons snapped a four-game winless run.
Here Post sport writer Rob Griffiths runs his eye over the Dragons showing.
Rob Lainton
Rarely tested, enjoyed a comfortable afternoon. 7
Kevin Roberts
Played on despite injuring his knee in a 50-50 with Reda Johnson, was his usual reliable self before later being forced off with an ankle injury. 7
Manny Smith
Welcome back Manny. The centre-half made his first appearance since injuring his knee in August, and slotted back in perfectly in seamless fashion. 7
Jake Lawlor
Forged a solid partnership with Smith, was rarely troubled at the back with a composed showing. 7
James Jennings
Scored a rather fortuitous opener, but was solid at the back throughout, and went close to adding a second. 7
Akil Wright
Guilty of missing three first half chances, but was a driving force for the Dragons in middle. 7
Mark Carrington
Composed showing in the middle, before moving to right-back as cover for stricken Roberts. 7
Luke Summerfield
Intelligent showing from the midfielder, kept Wrexham ticking over and was defensively solid. 7
Paul Rutherford
Lively showing, linked up well to create space for Jennings to score the opener, and played a perfectly weighted ball for Bobby Grant to open his account. 8
Bobby Grant
Took his goal with a level of composure, but struggler otherwise to find any openings against the Spitfires back three. 7
Stuart Beavon
Worked tirelessly, was lucky Rutherford was alert to turn his pass into a goal for Grant, but should have found the back of the net himself with a header. 7
Luke Young (on for Roberts on 51)
Busy showing just as Eastleigh were beginning to find their footing in proceedings. 6
Chris Holroyd (on for Beavon on 81)
No time to have any impact. 5
Mike Fondop (on for Grant on 90)
No time to have any impact. 5
