With Ilkeston eventually losing 4-2, the Scholars know a win at Spalding and if Wisbech beat Ilkeston then Chasetown would win the title.

Chasetown 1 Sporting Khalsa 1

Chasetown kicked off on the front foot and Danny O’Callaghan forced a brilliant save early on from Sam Arnold. Earlier, Ben Lund had fired narrowly wide so it was no surprise when Jack Langston fired home on the quarter hour after Arnold had saved from Oli Hayward.

Khalsa levelled just before the interval when Gurgit Singh lofted the ball over an advancing Curtis Pond.

Straight after half time, Chasetown were a whisker away from taking the lead when Joey Butlin’s header struck the top of the crossbar.

With news Ilkeston were drawing, Chasetown knew a win would keep their title hopes alive and in the 67th minute O’Callaghan picked his spot but the ball deflected for a corner.

In front of another 1000 plus attendance, the Scholars kept pushing for the winner.
With news that Ilkeston were losing, Kyle Perry got on the end of a Joey Butlin pass and Khalsa cleared off the line.

If results go against us on the final day we could drop as far as fourth and be away from home in the play off. But a win will guarantee a home game, unless we overtake Ilkeston for the title at the death.
