Comments in current full league table order,
Top 9 games, played, outstanding etc
Salford 16 played, remaining fixtures NONE.
2-1 win at Burscough.
Darlington 16 played, remaining fixture NONE.
0-0 draw at Lancaster today, a Salford loss or draw is needed else we play Spennymoor in the playoffs.
Northwich Vict 16 played, remaining fixture NONE.
2-2 home draw with Harrogate R.A. Still in a battle with Bamber Bridge for 3rd place.
Bamber Bridge, 15 played, remaining fixture Home to Farsley.
4-1 win at New Mills. Now a chance for 3rd place and a home playoff game if Northwich Vict. stumble.
Spennymoor, 16 played, remaining fixtures NONE
0-0 at Radcliffe today. Will finish the season in 5th, probably going to Darlington in the playoffs.
