Robins survive- as Millers and Tags see relegation confirmed

Carshalton Athletic ensure their survival, whilst Cray Valley also win- but it isn't enough. Our Play Offs are also confirmed

 

Carshalton Athletic may have only defeated St Albans City by one goal to nil, but they were the big winners on the final Saturday of the Pitching In Isthmian Premier campaign. That victory- earned by a goal from Nathan Young-Coobes five minutes before the break- coupled with Hashtag United’s two-one defeat against Dulwich Hamlet ensured that the Robins ended the season two points above the drop zone, the Tags falling to twentieth. 

 

Cray Valley PM had to win in Dartford to have any chance of avoiding the drop, and they did that, an added time Chris Dickson goal confirming a three-two win, but sadly for the travelling Millers it wasn’t enough. Valley and United join Potters Bar Town (who drew at Whitehawk) and Canvey island (who lost four-two at home to Ramsgate) in the bottom four.

 

At the other end of the table champions Folkestone Invicta reached one hundred and two goals with a five-three win over Cheshunt, and Aveley clinched second place with a two-nil win at Wingate & Finchley. The Millers will host Brentwood Town in the Play Off Semi-Final on Wednesday night; Brentwood ended their regular campaign with a two-two draw against Chichester City.

Billericay Town will welcome Chatham Town to New Lodge, the Blues held two-two at Welling whilst the Chats defeated Lewes two-one. 

 

Elsewhere, Burgess Hill Town were four-two winners against Cray Wanderers.

 

Remember, all of the Semi-Finals can be seen live on Clubber TV.
