Yes. After burning off Bromley, after we sparked their meltdown on that magic Tuesday night , Eastleigh have cantered home with a game plan based on attrition which has ground out the results consistently. Not much to stir the old loins in my opinion and I am still surprised their ground is conference standard. A covered terrace without any terracing is what it is - a bike shed. Don't even get me started on the bogus attendance figures. Maybe they will prove me wrong but I don't think their business model stacks up for the medium term let alone the long term.

Havant got a point at Weston tonight, so they are 3 points behind Ebbsfleet, having now played the same number of games. The big match in terms of how it affects 5th place could well be Concord V Dover. A win for Dover will put them back into 5th albeit having played a game extra. A win for Concord could effectively knock Dover out of the race, needing to make up 3 points in 2 games, but putting Concord within striking distance. A draw will help neither of them.
Bromley could all but send Tonbridge down tomorrow with Whitehawk possibly helping their own cause at already relegated Dorchester.

So it's bye bye Tonbridge who were relegated today in emphatic style, losing 7-1 at Chelmsford. Now its going to be Maidenhead, Whitehawk or Hayes and Yeading that could join them in the drop. And Angels manager Tommy Warrilow, who I think has been there for a good 5/6 years has just announced his resignation as a result.
Another club coming back into the league will be Dartford who got relegated today. It's looking like Hereford will probably go down too, unless they get a win against fellow strugglers Aldershot.
In the Ryman Bognor and K's are there for sure - then its 2 of Lowestoft, Dulwich and AFCHx, with the first two having a 1 point advantage

Plus the possibility of AFC Hornchurch getting through the play offs....Double incentive!!

Ryman play offs
Kingstonian v AFC Hornchurch Bognor V Lowestoft
Calor Gas play offs Chesham V Stourbridge Cambridge City v St Albans
Currently in the Conf Premier, Hereford are in the drop zone, but if Salisbury score one more at Chester, it will be Chester that go down.

And that's exactly what happened. Our old friend Jamie White scored on the 86min to send Chester down. So out of the 4 relegated clubs, 3 are Conference North clubs, with only Dartford coming into the south. Depending on how the play offs go, that could see a transfer of Oxford from North to South. Oxford currently sit in the 3rd relegation spot in the North, but with Vauxhall resigning from the league, it's still on the cards.

Quick diversion to the north: FC United of Manchester will not be playing in Conference North next season, as they lost at home to Ashton Uniited (2-1 aet) in tonight's Evo-Stik semi-final.
I seem to recall that they failed in the play-offs last year too.
Ashton will now meet AFC Fylde in the final.

Galling for FCUoM as I think they were even leading the division right at the start of April but ended up losing out to Chorley for the title by a point.
Ryman Play-Offs tonight:- Bognor vs Lowestoft Kingstonian vs AFC Hornchurch
Calor League Play-Off tonight:- Cambridge City vs St Albans

Chorley - now there's a side i've not thought about since the late 80s!!
Another little diversion, our local rivals Leatherhead have got to the final by disposing of a spirited Guernsey side 3-2 last night in the Ryman 1 south. They'll face Folkstone Invicta, who beat Hastings United 3-2 in extra time.

Tanners were three zip up with ten on the clock and having missed a couple of one on ones nearly paid the price.
Two well taken goals in three minutes made sure the home fans suffered the dreaded squeaky bum.
