Darlington finished their league campaign with a 3-1 victory over New Mills. A young Darlington side grabbed all three points, as the Quakers ended the season on 91 points, having scored the most goals and conceded the least in the league.

Salford City celebrated lifting the league trophy in style, as they won 5-0 in front of their biggest crowd of the season against Ossett Town. It was four by half time thanks to two goals from Jason Jarrett and one each from Philip Dean and Gareth Seddon. Dean then added a fifth late on as the Ammies completed a fantastic season for the club in which they have been able to secure promotion.

The only issue which was still to be settled was who would finish third and gain home advantage for the play-off semi-final. Bamber Bridge were able to win their game which was enough to finish third. They finished with a 3-1 victory at home to Farsley. Glenn Steel and Daniel Mahoney gave Bamber a 2-0 lead, before Aiden Savory pulled one back for Farsley before half time. Chris Marlow sealed the victory for the hosts in the final quarter of an hour.

They will host Northwich Victoria in the semi-final, after the Vics failed to win their final game. Josh Amis gave Northwich the lead away to Brighouse Town, but goals from Ernest Boafo and Ryan Hall turned the game in the hosts favour. Gary Burnett made it 2-2, however, Northwich were unable to score the winner which would have seen them claim third place.

Spennymoor Town’s recent struggles continue, as they drew again, their latest draw was 1-1 at home to Burscough. Burscough took the lead on the hour mark through William Jones. The Brewers earned a point in the final minutes of the game, with ex Quaker Ian Ward getting the goal.

Scarborough Athletic finished their first season in the Evo Stik North just outside the playoffs in sixth after a 3-0 win at Kendal Town on the final day. All three goals came in a ten minute spell, Thomas Corner, Ben Middleton and Ryan Blott on the score sheet.

Mossley finished just behind Scarborough on goal difference, after victory at Ossett Albion, 2-0. Samuel Robinson opened the scoring, with Charlie Anderson sealing the game in injury time.

Harrogate RA finished a very good season for the club in eighth. They won their final game at home to Lancaster 3-0. Daniel Thirkell and Adam Baker scored the first two goals, with Jordan Armstrong scoring from the penalty spot.

Warrington Town lost their final game of the season 2-1 away to Clitheroe.  Louis Mayers gave Clitheroe the lead with Ben Collins levelling for the Wire. However, Mayers scored his second to win the game for Clitheroe

After a bad run of results Droylsden were able to end on a high as Ciaran Kilheeney scored a hat-trick for the Bloods, in their 4-2 win against Radcliffe Borough.

The final game saw Padiham go out of the league with a bang. They finished bottom of the league, but were able to win 4-0 on the final day at home to Prescot Cables. Daley Woods scored a hat-trick with Andrew Hill also on the score sheet.

That is it for the league campaign, with just the play-offs left. We host Spennymoor on Wednesday night, with Bamber Bridge playing Northwich Victoria in the other game. The winners will meet next Saturday for a place in the Evo-Stik Premier alongside Salford City.
