Can Woodley United complete ‘Great Escape’? Maidenhead United face all or nothing Wealdstone tie

Jordan Blake’s side are on the verge of safety

The coming week will bring clarity across the English Football Pyramid for a host of sides, not least Woodley United in the Combined Counties League Division One.

The Kestrels have launched a late bid for survival in the second half of the season and after defeating Hillingdon Borough 4-1 on Saturday they face a must win fixture at home to Oxhey Jets on Tuesday.

A win gives Jordan Blake’s side a chance and survival then comes down to the results of Windsor and London Samurai Rovers – the latter with two games to play.

Update: Woodley United ‘must win’ as Windsor drop into bottom three

On Easter Monday in the Vanarama National League it could well be a day of reckoning for Maidenhead United. Alan Devonshire’s side simply must beat Wealdstone to stay alive in the division. Defeat would confirm relegation to the National League South.

Also on Easter Monday (via Rob Davies):

  • Bracknell Town could avoid relegation
  • Ascot United could secure a playoff place
  • Binfield could avoid relegation
  • Thatcham Town could be relegated
