Tonbridge boss Steve McKimm wants final push against Leatherhead to cement Bostik Premier top-10 spot

Tonbridge will guarantee a top-10 finish if they beat Leatherhead on the final day of the season.

Angels may have missed out on the Bostik Premier play-offs again but manager Steve McKimm insists league position still matters.

It certainly does for the visitors, who could snatch fifth place with a win at Longmead.

McKimm said: "It's going to be massive for them - and for us because we want to finish on a high.

"We want to finish as high as we can. We know what we've come up against this season, we know where we've gone wrong in certain games and in certain parts of the season.

"Three points could give us ninth so we want to be in that top 10 to give us a good platform for next season."

Angels have only lost one of their last five games after beating Lowestoft 2-1 on Saturday.

Tashi-Jay Kwayie scored an 88th-minute winner in Suffolk after Shaun Bammant had cancelled out Alex Akrofi's opener.

"It was a good win," McKimm said. "We started bright, got a goal, conceded a sloppy one and then popped up with the winner.

"We have been hard to beat. In terms of the players we've got missing and the youngsters who have had to step up, it's commendable for them and for the older ones to look after them and play with them.

"I'm very pleased with the way we've adapted to certain circumstances; budget cuts and injuries.

"There's a few results I'm not happy with but, all in all, they've acquitted themselves well."
