Crawley 1 Darlington 0
Crawley had several opportunities in the first half but the ball stayed out of the net until the 67th minute when Ben Smith drove home from 25 yards. Several more chances followed, one with Tubbs hitting the post from a header. Darlington nearly gave Crawley a scare when Dan Burn headed over. This was the closest The Quakers came to scoring in a game that was nearly all Crawley.
This win over Darlington along with the win over Mansfield on Tuesday means that The Reds have beaten both the FA Trophy finalists in the space of a week. No prizes for this though!
The Reds edge quite a bit closer to promotion as Luton were held to a 3-3 draw at Kidderminster. The late Kidderminster equaliser might have changed both team's fortunes, as Kidderminster remain in contention for the play-offs, whilst the loss of 2 points has damaged any hope Luton have of being champions! Elsewhere Wimbledon had a comfortable 2-0 win over Barrow and Wrexham said bye-bye to their champions challenge as they went down 0-2 at home to Hayes & Yeading!
So, some more back of envelope calculations needed as everything has changed.
The Reds now only need to win two games, or get six points from their remaining seven games to be champions and automatic promotion.
The Reds need one win or three points to eliminate Wimbledon.
This Tuesday Crawley have a tough away game at York. The two teams haven't met so far this season but York are in good form in 7th place. Luton have on paper an easier task at home to 14th placed Kettering.
If Crawley win and Luton lose on Tuesday it's game-over and Crawley are champions. Exciting times!!
So once again but even louder than last time - COME ON YOU REDS!
