AFC Wimbledon's 1-3 win away against Banstead Athletic insured a Play-Off spot and brought them 5 points short of automatic promotion and 8 points short of the Ryman League Division One championship although, with their massive goal difference, 7 table points would likely be enough. None of the rest of the top 7 clubs played Friday night so, they could be within 2 points of automatic promotion by Sunday morning.
Promotion could be had as early as Monday night as Dorking visits. The Championship could follow by the end of the coming week with the away match at 2nd placed Walton & Hersham. This will be followed by a visit to Sutton United for the Surrey County FA Saturday Senior Cup Semi-Finals on the 5th of April.
Earlier in the week, the Dons added another trophy to their collection as the AFC Wimbledon U-18s became the Southern Youth League Eastern Division Champions in their first year of existence.

As I pointed out last weekend, the play-off spot was clinched last Saturday.
If you're going to keep making long posts about my team, get your facts right. If you're not going to get your facts right, or even accept corrections, then stop posting about my team. Please.
The sad thing is, I can't kill-file you, as I have to keep correcting you every time you're wrong.
they could be within 2 points of automatic promotion by Sunday morning.
Promotion could happen today, if one of Walton & Hersham and Horsham loses and the other does not win.
Each of those teams can currently reach 88 points. Both cannot as they still have to play each other.
A loss by Horsham and a draw by W&H today would make Horsham's maximum points 85 and W&H's maximum points 86. Then, when the two teams play each other, either W&H's maximum would drop to 83 (with a Horsham win) or Horsham's maximum would drop to 83 (with a draw) or 82 (with a W&H win). We already have 84, so we would be promoted.
The logic runs exactly the same by swapping W&H and Horsham and running through the same argument.
If both Horsham and W&H lose today, each will have a maximum points of 85; however, when the two play each other, either both will drop to 83 (with a draw) or one will drop to 82 (the one which loses). We already have 84, so we would be promoted.
If both Horsham and W&H draw today, we would not - quite - be mathematically promoted. Both would have a mximum points of 86, meaning that if they draw against each other, both could still get 84. However, in that situation, a win against Dorking on Monday would hand us the title regardless of other results.
The Championship could follow by the end of the coming week
I'm amazed that you're getting this wrong, because you're using an accurate table. Somewhere in your logical processes, there's a logical fallacy which is generating false results.
