Fightback win at St Ives sees Harborough Town close in on title success
Harborough Town could claim the Pitching-In Southern League Premier Central title at the Bee Hive on Easter Monday.
For that to happen they need to beat Banbury United (ko 3pm) and hope Spalding United lose at Barwell, but whatever happens, Mitch Austin's side know two wins from their final four games guarantees top spot.
The Bees came from behind to beat struggling St Ives Town 2-1 on Good Friday.
The homes side led at half-time thanks to a Neo Dobson goal, but Harbrough fought back to win it thanks to a close-range finish from Rory McAuley on 64 minutes, and a sublime solo effort from Terell Pennant just four minutes later.
The win maintained the Bees' seven point advantage over the second-placed Tulips, who can now claim a maximum of 92 points - a tally the Bees currently trail by just five points.
Austin knows his team is close, but he is taking nothing for granted.
"It was a big day on Friday, because if we didn't get three points then it gets a bit squeeky and it still is, because my team will never think this is wrapped up until somebody tells us it's wrapped up," said the Bees boss.
"I want to keep the pressure on, and I want to make sure we are doing everything we can to be successful.
"We have a really tough fixture at home on Monday, and I fully expect the ground to be packed out, because it is exciting.
"We have a job to do and we have to remain focused, but hopefully by the end of the day we will have three points."
Following Monday's home date with the Puritans, the Bees go to Halesowen Town on April 11, entertain Bishop's Stortford on April 18 and then end their season with a trip to Stamford on April 25.
Spalding's remaining games see them go to Barwell on Monday and entertain Stratford Town on April 11, before finishing with two away days at Leiston (April 18) and Worcester City (April 25).
