Quakers aim to go out on a win
By Ray Simpson
Last game of the season at Aggborough
Quakers end their season -- their first fully completed one under manager Alun Armstrong -- when they go to Kidderminster on Saturday.
Quakers' play off hopes subsided last weekend when they failed to win at Bradford PA, but they want to finish the season in style with victory at Aggborough.
They are in 13th place in the table, while Kidderminster are assured of fourth place and a home tie in the elimination stage of the play offs in midweek.
Here are Alun's thoughts on the game:
