For what looks like being my last match of the season in the English Pyramid, it was another horrendous journey up the M6 to finish things off. The last midweek trip to St. Helens, when visiting St. Helens Town F.C. had taken 7 hours, so the fact that it only took 6 hours 7 minutes tonight makes it look so much less stressful !

At least the match tonight still had something riding on it. With a reorganisation of things in the leagues above for next season, it meant that 5 teams would be promoted from this division, so Middlewich would need a draw to make it into fifth place.

After a superb first half, where it was difficult to tell just which one of these two was the one going for promotion, they went in all square at 2-2, with both teams having been ahead at one point. The second half never really sparked into life, but Middlewich wrapped things up with the winning goal twelve minutes from the end, which saw them finish off the season in third place in the league table. Windle remained seventh.
