Current Ryman Divison One (North) Current play-off positions 
                      P  W  D L  GF GA  GD PTS 
2 Needham Market      39 26 8 5  94 48 +46 86

5 Wingate & Finchley  39 20 9 10 69 52 +17 69 

With the title race over and the play-off places secured it's only the 3rd placed to 5th placed positions left to sort out tomorrow. Ironically the four teams in the end of season play-offs all play each other with Brentwood Town entertaining Wingate and Finchley and Harlow Town making the trip to already confirmed runners-up Needham Market.

Enfield Town sign off their season and playing at Goldsdown Road by welcoming Tilbury to North London. The Dockers haven't scored in their last three games losing 0-1 at Harlow Town, 0-2 at home to Ware and 0-1 away at Potters Bar Town. On the road The Dockers have won four of their nineteen games, drawing two and losing thirteen. They don't score many on their travels with only Thamesmead Town lower scorers (15) to their current total of 16 goals. Defensively their aren't too bad letting in thirty goals which only eight other teams can beat away from home.

It's a case of if only for the Town....if only Wingate and Finchley hadn't scored that last minute equaliser in the 2-2 draw earlier in the season it would of put Town on 67 points and Wingate and Finchley on 68 points making tomorrow's more dramatic!!!

FINAL DAY FIXTURES 

Burgess Hill Town   v Ramsgate  
Chatham Town        v Bognor Regis Town  
Chipstead           v Walton Casuals  
Fleet Town          v Eastbourne Town  
Metropolitan Police v Merstham  
Sittingbourne       v Godalming Town  
Walton & Hersham    v Dulwich Hamlet  
Whitehawk           v Leatherhead  
Whitstable Town     v Corinthian-Casuals  
Whyteleafe          v Horsham YMCA  
Worthing            v Faversham Town 

Down South it's a much more exciting final day with the title still up for grabs and one of the play off places still to be decided. Bognor Regis Town and Metropolitan Police can still win the league with Dulwich Hamlet, Walton and Hersham and Burgess Hill Town still fighting for a play-off place.

Bognor Regis Town travel to Chatham Town who need to win to stay out of the bottom two and possible relegation with seventeenth placed Mertsham travelling to Imber Court.

In another ironic twist in the race for the play-offs Dulwich Hamlet travel to Walton and Hersham and Burgess Hill Town welcome Ramsgate (5th v 6th and 7th v 8th). Burgess Hill will hope that the match at Stompond Lane finishes all square and they can beat the Rams to sneak into fifth place. Third placed Whitehawk also play fourth placed Leatherhead where the result will decide where the two teams will play their play-off match.....Fetcham Grove or The Enclosed Ground??


Current Ryman Premier Division Table - Positions two to seven only 
                   P  W  D  L  GF GA  GD PTS     LAST GAME 
2 Tonbridge Angels 41 21 10 10 69 45 +24 73      Horsham (a)
3 Bury Town        41 21 10 10 66 49 +17 73      WEALDSTONE (H)
4 Lowestoft Town   41 19 15 7  64 29 +35 72      Folkestone Invicta (a)
5 Harrow Borough   41 22 6  13 76 50 +26 72      CRAY WANDERERS (H)
-------------------------------------------
6 Kingstonian      41 21 8  12 63 47 +16 71      Margate (a)
7 Canvey Island    41 20 10 11 67 50 +17 70      Tooting and Mitcham (a)
In the Premier Division it's also very tight with Kingstonian and Canvey Island ready to move into the play off zone should the teams above them slip up. If the positions stay the same their will be a Suffolk Derby between Bury Town and Lowestoft Town that would attract a massive crowd at Ram Meadow.
They'll be a few twists on the final day of the season with many fans finding out results at other grounds to find out if their team have been lucky or not???
