Pickering Town manager Paul Marshall previously guided Goole AFC to the Evo Stik in the mid-2000s
Paul Marshall’s Pickering Town need six points out of an available nine points to book their place in the Evo Stik League for the first time in their history.
AFC Mansfield have played all their matches so Pickering know exactly what they need to do to join Pontefract. One win and two draws would actually be enough because of their superior goals-difference.
Away games at Staveley Miners Welfare, Barton Town and Hall Road Rangers will decide Pickering’s fate.
A 3-1 victory at Bridlington Town has strengthened their cause. Billy Logan, Ged Dalton and Lewis Taylor all scored as the Pikes raced into a three-goal lead. Chris Jenkinson raised hopes of a Bridlington comeback, but none was forthcoming.
