What difference a year makes, this time last year The Millers were in the process of completing a great escape to stay up and 12 months later there is a real possibility that the club will make the playoffs for the first time since 2012 following three wins from four games in eight days.
Success in the playoffs would see The Millers reaching the Northern Premier League’s Premier Division for the first time in the club’s history.
The 2 – 1 win against Consett on April 20 was The Millers tenth home win this season.
The team require just two points from their last two games to cement their playoff place and a win on Tuesday April 23 against third placed Dunston under the lights at Stoke Lane will guarantee a play off position and a bumper crowd is expected.
Carlton Town also continue their community work in May when their season ends as they host a number of charity matches. The first charity match has been announced for May 5 as four teams will play for the Trophy For Peace in support of the Ukraine community.
The club have issued a statement on their website stating: ‘Admission is by way of a donation and there will be stalls and a raffle which will be drawn at 4.45pm in the Howard Mitchell Sportsbar. The event continues into the evening with the event moving across to the Raglan Road Irish bar on Derby road in Nottingham where further fund raising and entertainment will be on the menu. Anyone wanting to get involved with this event and support and help ease the suffering for the Ukraine victims in this war can ring Taz on 07411 748917.’
