Tranmere got back to winning ways with a convincing 4-0 win over table-topping Stockport at Prenton Park.
The home side took the lead after 30 minutes when skipper Tom Davies poked the ball home from close range following a Brad Walker free-kick.
Despite enjoying a lot of possession, the visitors were limited when it came to goalscoring opportunities with Nick Powell having the best chance to level the game before the interval.
At the other end, Harvey Saunders could have doubled Rovers' lead, only to be denied by Ben Hinchcliffe in the County goal.
The Hatters started brightly after the break and could have been level through Will Collor, who was denied by home goalkeeper Luke McGee, before Odin Bailey saw his effort from a narrow angle flash wide.
