Yesterday, Manchester City and Manchester United met for the first time ever in an FA Cup final. Next season, a few miles north up the road, a less glamorous Greater Manchester derby will be revived as Rochdale join Oldham Athletic in the National League.
David Unsworth described ten-man Altrincham’s remarkable comeback against his Oldham side as ‘sickening’, as the Robins rescue a point in a gobsmacking finish at Boundary Park.
A stunning second half strike by Danny Whitehall, which lit up a tight, pretty ordinary affair, earned depleted Eastleigh a tenth single-goal victory of the season and cemented their place in the National League play-off zone.
A late salvo ensured Boreham Wood forced their way into into the National League play-off positions at the expense of a much- improved Oldham Athletic.
