Comments in current full league table order,

Salford 14 played, remaining fixtures Home to Spennymoor, Away at Scarborough.
Excellent home record against top 9 teams, 6 wins out of 7, did what needed to do today.

Northwich Vict 9 played, remaining fixtures Home to Darlington, Scarborough, Harrogate & Farsley, Away at Darlington, Droylsden & Bamber Bridge.
No game today. Best Top 9 games to play, twice with us, home to Farsley, and at Droylsden.

Darlington 9 played, remaining fixtures Home to Northwich Vict, Droylsden & Bamber Bridge, Away at Northwich Vict, Scarborough, Harrogate & Farsley.
Loss at Salford very disappointing, from Martin Gray on down, keep your composure. In the Top 9, 4 tough away games, at home to still play Northwich Vict and Droylsden.

Scarborough 9 played, remaining fixtures Home to Darlington, Salford & Bamber Bridge, Away to Northwich Vict, Droylsden, Farsley & Bamber Bridge.
Jumped to 4th with win at Burscough and a lot of postponements. So far, not beaten anyone in the top 4 at home, and lost all 4 away games against top 9 teams.

Harrogate, 13 played, remaining fixtures Home to Darlington, Away at Northwich Vict & Spennymoor.
No game today. Of the top 9, only got us at home. A lot of lower teams to feed off to make a playoff push. Plyd 29, Pts 48, going to be tough to stay in front of (Spennymoor Plyd 24, Pts 47) and Farsley(Plyd 24, Pts 45).

Spennymoor, 11 played, remaining fixtures Home to Harrogate & Farsley, away at Salford, Droylsden & Bamber Bridge.
No game today. Should finish the season as a playoff team. Biggest top 9 games outstanding, away at Salford and Droylsden.

Droylsden 11 played, remaining fixtures Home to Northwich Vict, Scarborough, Bamber Bridge & Spennymoor, Away to Darlington.
No game today, but Scarborough pulled away and have two games in hand on Droy. The season looks to be coming close to an end. Top 9 games, one away game left at Heritage Park, tough home games with Northwich Vict and Salford.

Farsley, 10 played, remaining fixtures Home to Darlington, Scarborough and Bamber Bridge, Away at Northwich Vict, Bamber Bridge and Spennymoor.
No game today, should move into the playoff 5 soon chasing Droylsden (Farsley 1 point back, 5 games in hand) and Scarborough (Farsley 4 points back, 3 games in hand). In the top 9 games, they have played very well, almost 2 points per game(18 from 10 games), at home, they have us to play, away Northwich Vict to play.

Bamber Bridge, 8 played, remaining fixtures Home to Northwich Vict, Scarborough, Farsley and Spennymoor, away at Darlington, Droylsden, Scarborough & Farsley.
Nice 3-1 win over Padiham today, in the Top 9 defining themselves, at home now 0-0-4, against the rest of the division at home 8-2-0.
Lowest number of top 9 games played, apart from an impressive win at Spennymoor, 6 losses in 8 games, same as last year they have not got results against the top teams.


My top 5 to make the playoffs, as of today.
1) Darlington, we all need to keep our composure, Martin Gray and staff, Alan White and the players, fans in the ground. It's our title with the games in hand if everyone keeps their composure.
2) Salford, they will race us to the finish, their loss last week at Brighouse cancelled out our loss today, both teams got 3 points from the last two games. Trying to find a positive today.
3) Northwich Vict, good enough to remain in 3rd need to keep an eye on Farsley and Spennymoor.
4) Spennymoor.
5) Farsley.

6) Harrogate or Scarborough hanging around in case Spennymoor or Farsley falter.
