LEAGUE TWO THIS WEEKEND

- TOM FARMERY

LINCOLN manager Danny Cowley and his brother and assistant boss Nicky deserve a statue in their honour at Sincil Bank, according to Ian Holloway. The former QPR manager was speaking after Lincoln beat

MK DONS 2-0 to move 11 points clear at the top of the table. ‘They make the hardest things look easy,’ Holloway told TV channel Quest. ‘They’ve got better after the disappoint­ment of last year (losing in the play-offs). They deserve a statue to be made, those Cowley brothers.’ Lincoln can clinch promotion if they beat Cheltenham next week. If the three clubs below them lose, victory would clinch the title.

MANSFIELD secured a second successive win to move into runners-up spot. Tyler Walker’s 20th league goal of the season was enough to beat CAMBRIDGE 1-0 at home. After being issued with a winding-up order, BURY’S week got worse as a 3-2 defeat at CARLISLE meant they dropped out of the automatic promotion places. Adel Gafaiti’s 91st-minute equaliser earned YEOVIL a 1-1 draw away at SWINDON and stopped them from falling into the relegation zone. They are level on points with

NOTTS COUNTY, who drew 2-2

at home to NORTHAMPTO­N. MACCLESFIE­LD are a point behind Yeovil and Notts County in last place after a 1-1 draw against MORECAMBE.
