Cambridge won 3-2 today against Northwood.

No matter what happens to Hartley and Beaconsfield on Thursday between now and then, a win Saturday will put both Hayes and Cambridge out of the automatic promotion race, guaranteeing us at least a top 3 finish.

Cambridge unbeaten in 9 now, their best run since Nov/Dec 2012. Tonights win secured their place in the play offs.
Five of the top six now confirmed.

Beaconsfield, AFCRD, Hayes, Hartley and Cambridge.......all the right teams but not necessarily in that order!

For us to officially achieve promotion on Saturday we would need to beat Cambridge City and hope Hartley Wintney fail to win against Fleet this evening and fail to win on Saturday against Ashford.

If Hartley were to pick up 3 points out of 6 (basically if they were to lose one of those games) and we beat Cambridge on Saturday, we'd be 6 points clear with 2 games left and a significantly better goal difference.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Six of the top seven in action against each other on saturday.

Cambridge City 5th v AFCRD 2nd
Beaconsfield 1st v Hayes 4th
Bedford 7th v Dunstable 6th

Hartley have much easier match away to Ashford.

Dunstable look most likely to secure the 6th place, but Bedford are having a very good late run.

Currently two points behind us with a game in hand. Our promotion not quite yet confirmed, but a win on Tuesday, possibly even a draw (depending on the Hartley Wintney result at Kempston should be enough)) :clapping:

It's must-win for both of us for now then, maybe Beaconsfield will start feeling the pressure now? I didn't think we would be able to snatch the title from Beaconsfield at the death, but after they mucked it up today, perhaps luck is on our side!

Be a real turn up for the books if they only end up in the play offs. They face dunstable on Tuesday which won't be easy, then play on Thursday and Saturday. Fair play if they win all three matches.
