Chris Brindley’s men saw relegation rivals Stocksbridge Park Steels lose their game in hand as they were beaten 5-1 by Nantwich Town.

However, Frickley Athletic only managed a draw with a 2-2 win at Rushall Olympic.

Relegation rivals Whitby Town have a game in hand at Matlock Town on Thursday (April 19), knowing that victory would see them clear of the 20th placed Scholars.

While Chasetown currently occupy 19th – the final relegation spot – they could be saved as [Northwich Victoria are set to be expelled from the league](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2012/04/14/chasetown-fc-handed-relegation-lifeline-after-northwich-victoria-expulsion/) at the end of the season meaning that position would be good enough for survival. But Brindley’s side know they are likely to need a win at relegated Burscough on Saturday and hope that Stocksbridge, Frickley or Whitby slip-up.

**As it stands:**
