Trinity, with victory on Bank Holiday Monday, can take great strides towards securing our play-off spot, but this will only be confirmed if Hyde, Marine & Matlock all lose their games, in truth an unlikely probability, but nonetheless a permutation to be aware of, when casting an eye over proceedings come three o'clock.

Once again, Hyde look to try and take advantage of an earlier start. Kicking off at 1pm in their Tameside Derby against Stalybridge Celtic. Moved to the earlier kick off time, on police advice, there is certainly plenty to play for with both sides involved in scraps at opposite ends of the table. One defeat in seven at home have seen Neal Bishop's Gainsborough Trinity improve of late on home turf, and will have something of a point to prove after the disappointing defeat at Liversedge’s Clayborne Ground back in February.

That, coupled with what will hopefully be a bumper Bank Holiday crowd at the Dave Longstaff Martin and Co Arena, the stage is set for some fireworks! Determined to put on a show, with two of the three remaining games at Northolme, Gainsborough Trinity's season is nearing an exciting climax. Standing in the way of a Holy Blues victory is Liversedge. One of the promoted sides from last season, Sedge sit 21st out 22 in the Pitching In Northern Premier League table, six points away from safety (with an additional game still to squeeze in). The visitors have become harder to beat in recent weeks, picking up wins against FC United of Manchester, Morpeth and Marine – not to mention - a 4-0 hammering of Atherton at the Skuna - and a number of draws, including Easter Saturday's draw with Radcliffe, the size of Trinity's task shouldn't be underestimated.
