It's all on the line for Steelmen

Bromsgrove Sporting v Corby Town

Play-Off Final

Steve Kinniburgh is expecting his Corby Town players to rise to the occasion one more time this season as they bid for promotion in their first playoff final

The Steelmen head to Bromsgrove Sporting for what is the ultimate winner-takes-all encounter.

By the end of the day, one team will have been promoted to Step 3 while the other will be facing another campaign in the same division.

The clash sees the sides who finished second and third during the regular season going head-to-head.

Corby beat Bedford Town 5-3 in their semi-final last Wednesday while Bromsgrove needed extra-time to eventually see off Sutton Coldfield Town 3-2.

The season now comes down to one game at Bromsgrove’s Victoria Ground.

And Steelmen boss Kinniburgh said: “It’s a long, old season from when you start in July and you set your targets and from then onwards, it’s about finding your way to hitting those targets.

“We have had 39 games and now we have 90 minutes of football to go and achieve it.

“It’s in our own hands. We have had a lot of obstacles to get over in terms of the points per game ratio and then the semi-final last Wednesday.

“But we have overcome them and now we arrive at one moment in time where we have the opportunity to do what we set out to do.

“It’s up to us. If we go and produce a similar performance to the one we did against Bedford then we will give ourselves a real chance.

“It’s a big occasion for everyone and I think it’s the first time Corby have played in a play-off final so it’s a new experience for the club.
