Worksop. who earlier in the season set the Consecutive wins record (19) received the return to Step 3 football from Jamie Walker at Long Eaton, who's late winner against Hebburn Town gave the Tigers the final step up towards the title.

Bridlington Town were the only side able to deny them a win this campaign following their 2 draws on August 23rd and January 14th
