    An excellent night for South and West Yorkshire.

    Doncaster's promotion juggernaut picked up even more momentum with their emphatic victory at Colchester.

    They are now fifth and only need a point from their trip to Gillingham to secure that play-off spot.

    Bradford simply had to win, and they did, away to Barrow. They remain outsiders for the play-offs, but beat Newport at home and you just never know.

    Barrow could have sealed their spot tonight. Not to be but they will have another chance at home to already promoted Mansfield on Saturday.

    Colchester United could have secured League Two football for another season with a draw or win tonight.

    But despite taking an early lead, a 4-1 defeat means Sutton United have a reprieve.

    A draw or win will be enough for the U's again on Saturday at home to Crewe, if not they leave the door open for Sutton who must win at MK Dons and cause a four-goal swing in the goal difference.

    Derby fans will sleep easier tonight than they might have done had Peterborough rattled up a big win in their game in hand at Cheltenham. The Rams remain in the box seat for automatic promotion on the final day while Posh must wait to see where the dust settles on the play-off race before they can plot a possible Wembley return.

    Wycombe make the top 10 after their point at Cambridge tonight.

    Only two of the top 10 cannot move places on the final day.

    Cheltenham could not have done any more tonight. Their 2-0 win over Peterborough means they are within two points of Burton going into the final afternoon, with Cambridge a further point ahead after their 1-1 draw with Wycombe tonight.

    Cheltenham must win at Stevenage on Saturday and hope Burton fail to win at Fleetwood and/or Cambridge lose at Port Vale.

  7. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:43 23 April

    21:43 23 April

    Cambridge 1-1 Wycombe

    They played more than 10 added minutes in the end, but it's finished all square after Luke Leahy's late penalty cancelled out Gassan Ahadme's bullet header

    Is it enough for Cambridge? We'll find out on Saturday. The U's are not safe and know they need to match Cheltenham's result on the final day to survive.

  8. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:43 23 April

    21:43 23 April

    Barrow 1-2 Bradford

    Huge win for Bradford City.

    Tyler Smith's 90th minute goal keeps their play-off charge alive as they head to the final day.

    Barrow are still in the final play-off spot, but another chance to get things done slips by.

  9. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:39 23 April

    21:39 23 April

    Colchester 1-4 Doncaster

    A fantastic club-record equalling night for Doncaster Rovers.

    Grant McCann's side wins for a 10th straight match and they are now up to sixth in the table.

    Colchester are still awaiting the point they need to guarantee EFL football next season.

    Sutton have a lifeline.

    Cambridge 0-0 Wycombe

    Seven added minutes at the Abbey.

    Cambridge know a goal ensures their safety. Can they magic one up in the most dramatic of finales?

    21:38 23 April

    Barrow 1-2 Bradford

    We are now playing six minutes of injury time at Holker Street.

    Get behind this team. Get behind this manager. Lets see if Cheltenham can pull off a miracle and stay in this division this weekend.

  13. FULL-TIMEpublished at 21:36 23 April

    21:36 23 April

    Cheltenham 2-0 Peterborough

    Cheltenham are not going down without a fight.

    They have taken it to the final day with a deserved win over a Posh side which made seven changes from the weekend having seemingly accepted their play-off fate.

    Joe Nuttall and Matty Taylor goals ensured the points, but Cheltenham will need to win on the final day at Stevenage and hope one of Burton and Cambridge do not.

  14. GOAL: Barrow 1-2 Bradfordpublished at 21:35 23 April

    21:35 23 April

    Tyler Smith (90 mins)

    BIG, BIG goal.

    Bradford needed a goal. They absolutely needed a goal and substitute Tyler Smith has got it!

    Andy Cooks plays it through to Smith and he's through on goal and curls the finish beyond Paul Farman.

    The Bantams are ecstatic.

    Experience is key and it is experience which has got Cheltenham 99% of where they want to be.

    21:33 23 April

    Cheltenham 2-0 Peterborough

    Four added minutes for Cheltenham to endure... though they begin with Liam Sercombe wriggling into space and firing in a shot which is stopped by Nicholas Bilokapic. Could they add a clincher?

  17. GOAL: Colchester 1-4 Doncasterpublished at 21:30 23 April

    21:30 23 April

    Joe Ironside (85 mins)

    And as well as Big Mo, they have a fourth goal!

    Another goal for their main man, Joe Ironside. His fifth in four games and a 23rd of the season.

    James Maxwell's shot is pushed onto the post, but Ironside is in the right place to put the rebound away.

  18. Postpublished at 21:29 23 April

    21:29 23 April

    Colchester 1-3 Doncaster

    On this form, Doncaster are going to be very difficult opponents in the play-offs.

    They have that vital ingredient at this stage of the season - big Mo!

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:27 23 April

    21:27 23 April

    Cheltenham 2-0 Peterborough

    Luke Southwood has produced a vital flying save to keep out Jonson Clarke-Harris' powerful header from Harley Mills cross.

    The visitors applying some pressure in the closing stages.

  20. Postpublished at 21:25 23 April

    21:25 23 April

    Barrow 1-1 Bradford

    Into the last 10 minutes in Cumbria.

    This draw is OK for Barrow. It is not enough for Bradford.
