'Nothing is done' just yet ?

It could be party time at Hayden Road tonight (Tuesday) as AFC Rushden & Diamonds look to wrap up automatic promotion in the Evo-Stik South League East.

Diamonds will be promoted if they beat Aylesbury FC and third-placed Hartley Wintney fail to win at Kempston Rovers.

However, even if both sides are victorious, Diamonds will still be able to toast elevation to Step Three as they are currently three points in front of and 15 goals better off than Hartley, who are now the only team who can stop Andy Peaks’ side.

The mathematics are not something boss Peaks is concerning himself with.

As far as he is concerned, if his players can pick up a fourth win in a row then the job they set out to do at the start of the season will be done.

Having missed out in the play-offs in the last two years, an opportunity to get the job done without them has now arrived.

While Peaks knows there will be a big and expectant crowd on hand this evening, he insists “nothing is done” just yet.
