Harpenden Town face their biggest challenge in 10 years when they take on Baldock on Tuesday (April 18) in a crucial promotion showdown.
Harps are three points behind second place Baldock with a game in hand and a win could make them favourites for promotion.
The stakes are high as moving up a flight brings automatic entry into the FA Cup plus higher level football for the youth team to improve football standards in the town.
Harpenden are now certain of third place in the Spartan South Midlands Division One but only two teams are guaranteed promotion.
Manager Danny Plumb said:”We scored our 100th league goal of the season on Saturday which is a great achievement but now we need to give it everything and see where we end up.
