We've been saying for weeks how close it is at the top. After Saturdays results it couldn't be closer. The top three Ilkeston, Halesowen and Chastown are now level on 69 points, each with seven matches to play. Stamford moved within six points of the top three following their win at Bedworth who are now winless in their last six matches. Belper recorded only their third draw when they shared the points at Cambridge while Yaxley pulled off a surprise by winning at Carlton. The first versus third clash was won by Chasetown with a late Joey Butlin strike. Ilkeston stay top on goal difference but have picked up just five points from their last four matches and failed to score in three of them. Coleshill kept alive their playoff hopes by beating Histon with a brace by Kai Tonge. Corby are now unbeaten in four after holding Halesowen. Sam Moore scored twice for the Steelmen including a last gasp equaliser. Halesowen have now dropped four precious points by conceding late equalisers in their last two matches. Daventry’s improved form continued with a win against Sporting Khalsa while basement side Soham Town Rangers earned a point at Loughborough. Shepshed saw off Wisbech and Sutton Coldfield made it three games without defeat with a draw at Spalding.

Run-in RoundUp

Sat 19th March 2022

Belper Town  2  Daventry  Town  1
Halesowen Town 0  Chasetown  2
Histon  2  Bedworth United  2
Ilkeston Town  3  Coleshill Town  2
Soham Town Rangers  1  Corby Town  3

Yaxley  1  Loughborough Dynamo  3 

Chasetown made a big statement by winning at Halesowen and not many expected that. All three promotion contenders have dropped points recently but Chasetown have dropped the least. After losing to Stamford they’re back in the groove beating both Ilkeston and now Halesowen. Ilkeston and Halesowen have both stuttered similarly drawing twice as well as losing to Chasetown. Halesowen are still in there with an automatic promotion chance but they need Ilkeston and Chasetown to drop points in their remaining six matches.

Belper consolidated their place in the final playoff position with a win against Daventry after Todd Jordan’s late winner. The big match between Halesowen and Chasetown was won by the Scholars in front of 1727 spectators at the Grove. Joey Butlin and Liam Kirton both scored inside the last 15 minutes. Former promotion favourites Halesowen are now winless in their last three and this defeat leaves them three points behind Ilkeston and Chasetown. Charlie Lewis earned Histon a point against Bedworth with an added time leveller. Histon have drawn their last three home games. Ilkeston held on to top spot after beating Coleshill 3-2. Kieran Fenton scored twice as Ilkeston led 3-0. Coleshill staged a remarkable come back but couldn’t find an equaliser. Corby extended their unbeaten run to five games against Soham Town Rangers. Sporting Khalsa were surprised by Shepshed Dynamo while Stamford eased past Spalding United where a Jack Duffy goal in the first minute settled the outcome. There was also a single goal decider at Sutton Coldfield who lost to Carlton Town. Cambridge moved up to 8th after coming from behind to beat Wisbech 3-2. Sam Bennett scored twice for Wisbech who had Nathan Kelly sent off. Finally, two very late goals gave Loughborough Dynamo the points at Yaxley.

I know it’s frustrating right now, but we have no choice but to stay positive, yeltz fans are unbelievable, over 1700 there today and youve been let down by us all, apologies to everyone who was there, stick with us, we will do all we can to put it right .

Just doing the maths... Ilkeston have 72 points, 6th placed Carlton have 56. With six matches left, they can only reach 74. So,one more Ilkeston win, means we are guaranteed at least a place in the play offs.

No change at the top after the top four all won. Chasetown, Halesowen and Stamford all recorded emphatic victories while leaders Ilkeston needed a late winner to overcome Yaxley. Ilkeston are still  clinging on to pole position but the threat from the other three grows greater week by week.  

A single goal by Ryan Nesbitt gave Bedworth the points against Spalding. Chasetown made light a a tricky game against Cambridge City and won comfortably 3-0. Coleshill’s playoff hopes took a knock when Daventry’s Nat Gosnal-Tyler scored a late leveller. Carlton who also have playoff ambitions suffered a 2-1 defeat at Corby who are now six games unbeaten. Histon recorded only their fourth win of the season by beating Loughborough Dynamo. Remaye Campbell scored a last gasp winner for Ilkeston against Yaxley. Third-placed Halesowen bounced back from last weeks defeat to Chasetown with an emphatic 6-1 win at Soham. Fourth-placed Stamford kept the pressure on the top three by also scoring six against Sutton Coidfield with Jonathan Margetts finding the net four times. Wisbech Town’s winless run continued with a home defeat to Sporting Khalsa. Goals by James McGrady and Miracle Okafor in added time made Khalsa’s win look more comfortable than it actually was.

The situation at the top took a significant change following this weekend’s fixtures. Ilkeston opened up a three point lead at the top after winning at Cambridge while Chasetown suffered a defeat at Carlton. Halesowen changed places with Chasetown after their win against Histon and Stamford are now only three points behind 2nd and 3rd after beating Daventry.
Belper made hard work of beating bottom club Wisbech and had six players booked. Strikes by Zak Goodson and Montel Gibson gave Ilkeston their crucial win at Cambridge while Chasetown were beaten by two late Carlton goals by Aaron Opoku and Aaron O’Connor. Jonathan Margetts continued his scoring spree for Stamford as they kept the pressure on Halesowen and Chasetown for a high playoff spot. The Yeltz stayed in contention with a comfortable 3-0 win over Histon.

Well hopefully they turn Chasetown over on Saturday
