Top three looks a formality - Two Review 19/4/10

Last updated : 19 April 2010 By Deano

With the top two already up and meeting this Tuesday night at Meadow Lane as one of both clubs' games in hand, it now seems the Cherries will join the duo in League One.

Saturday's results saw relegated Darlington frustrate the Dean Court side for almost an hour but after breaking through with Anton Robinson's goal, they sealed a comfortable win.

The gap now sits at 8 points over the fourth placed Millers, as our 0-0 draw at home to Cheltenham effectively ended hopes of that top three dream.

The fight is still on for the play-off spots, as Aldershot, Bury and Chesterfield who were defeated 2-0 at Macclesfield in the late kick off due to the Manchester derby, all dropped points. The Spireites drop out of the top seven at the expense of Dagenham who have hit a patch of good form at the right time.

Northampton, who the Millers beat in midweek lost further ground at Dale's expense as the Spotland club celebrated their first promotion since 1969. Morecambe also lost ground after their defeat at Notts County where Lee Hughes scored twice to edge infront of Adam Le Fondre in the golden boot charge.

Shrewsbury kept their hopes of a top seven finish alive with a 1-0 win over Lincoln, despite a dreadful run of late.

Down at the bottom, Grimsby look doomed for the Blue Square Premier after a 3-0 loss at home to 10 man Torquay who had ex-Miller Guy Branston sent off.

Congrats to the top two on their promotion, here's the full results and latest league table.
