STRONG FINISH REQUIRED AS PLAY-OFFS BECKONS

Following the defeat by title rivals Coalville Town, Blues must gear themselves up for another crack at the play-offs.

Before that there are two important league games against Market Drayton Town and Bedworth United.

A victory in either game will secure third place and guarantee a home semi-final against Belper Town.

However if Blues can win both games and Halesowen lose their final game on Saturday at Belper then a second place finish could be achieved guaranteeing home advantage in both the semi-final and final.

In that scenario the semi-final would almost certainly be against Mickleover Sports.

On Easter Monday, Leek travel to Greenfields to play Market Drayton Town. In four previous attempts Blues have only won once, with two draws and a single victory also for the home side.

The game at Harrison Park was on Boxing Day and saw Town hammer their opponents 5-0, so Drayton will be looking for a degree of revenge and they also still need points to ensure they avoid the one remaining relegation spot.

Lee Casswell's side face their third game in six days and the Blues boss (pictured) will have to decide whether to rotate his squad to freshen things up and rest key players before next week's play-offs.
