Slough's strong finish tees them up for playoff glory

Southern Premier playoffs
Start 7.45pm Wednesday

The Southern Premier playoff contenders are extremely well-matched with just three points separating second-placed King's Lynn from fifth-placed Weymouth.

King's Lynn are the favourites, having accumulated 100 points, but third-placed Slough, who host fourth-placed Kettering in the semi-finals, look better value.

Slough had a strong finish to the season, taking 28 points from their last ten games, and should be approaching the playoffs with confidence.

The Rebels came to the attention of a wider audience in December when they lost 4-0 at home to Rochdale in a televised FA Cup second-round tie.

Slough's cup run was a money-spinner but also a distraction as the Berkshire side won only one of their six league games either side of the Rochdale clash.

However, they got back to their best during the run-in and look in better shape than Kettering, who lost two of their final three games.

King's Lynn's semi-final with Weymouth looks too close to call but whoever wins could struggle in a possible final against Slough.
