Scunthorpe are three points behind with only one game left to play. They had to win on Saturday to stay in contention, and did so thanks to two penalties in the last five minutes of their game at York, both of which were converted to make it 2-1 to the Iron.
Scunny have to beat Darlington in their final match of the season, and hope that the Tigers lose their fixtures at Hartlepool and Scarborough. A point from either of those games would seal the North-East Conference for City.
