Ashton United and Workington secured play-off places as Stourbridge were the side to miss out on a top five finish.

Stourbridge needed a win to secure a play-off place, but they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Salford City. Michael Itela scored for Salford after ten minutes, but Stourbridge levelled ten minutes later through Stuart Pierpoint. However, Itela scored his second to win the game for Salford and send the majority of the 1827 in attendance home disappointed.
