Brigg Town suffered a huge blow in their pursuit of a play-off place with a 2-0 loss at home to Armthorpe Welfare on Saturday.
Not only did it move their visitors to just one point behind the Zebras and with a game in hand, it also prevented Dave Smith’s side from closing the gap on sixth place, which as things stand would be good enough for a play-off place given Staveley MW still lie fifth but ineligible to compete in them at the end of the season.
Brigg are eighth, six points behind sixth-placed Retford FC and with two games in hand, and crucially the two sides will meet in Retford on Saturday.
