A haul of six points from five games in nine days has left Hallam FC just three points behind Arnold Town and a position of safety.
The Countrymen picked up wins against Armthorpe Welfare at Sandygate and away at Lincoln Moorlands Railway, but suffered defeats to Farsley AFC, Tadcaster and Selby Town.
Hallam and Arnold each have three games left. They come head to head on the final match of the season, a game which could decide which team will join Dinnington Town in relegation to Division one.
Following in the success of our three previous computer courses, and wishing to build on achievements of the students so far, Crosspool Forum has managed to secure patronage for two further National Open College Network (NOCN) 12-week courses.

To give a better understanding of court procedure and why magistrates come to the decisions on sentences that they do, the police and two magistrates plan to talk about Magistrates in the Community at an upcoming South West Sheffield Neighbourhood Watch Forum meeting.
The event is at Christ Church Fulwood church hall on Canterbury Avenue on Wednesday 13 April and is expected to run from 7-9pm. Refreshments will be available.
A number of attendees will be invited to be involved in some role play. So go along and get involved – or feel free just to turn up and witness proceedings.
Hallam FC were involved in an exciting 5-5 draw at Winterton Rangers on Saturday.
The Countrymen were 5-3 up at half time but conceded two second half goals to allow Winterton to pull level.
Saturday’s match follows a 2-2 a draw with Thackley on Tuesday 29 March, meaning Hallam are now on a three-match unbeaten run. They take on Farsley AFC at Sandygate tomorrow (Thursday), kick off 7:45pm.
Crosspool folk sprang into action last Saturday to clean up our neighbourhood.
As part of Sheffield’s third Annual Spring Clean, a dozen or so local residents, both young and old met at 10am on Saturday outside Direct Travel on Sandygate Road.
After brief introductions, the group dispersed in small teams to various locations where there was litter to clear up.
Despite the wind and the rain, and having to deal with obstacles including parts of a discarded piano, everyone enjoyed the camaraderie of the morning and the satisfaction of what was achieved.
We hope to arrange another group clean up for some date in the future so keep your eye on this website and the Crosspool Clarion for details.
Two local events are taking place this weekend.
Tapton Hill Church is hosting a Spring Fayre on Saturday 9 April. It starts at 2pm and there are stalls and refreshments. Everyone is welcome.
Running both Saturday and Sunday is a Hallam Art Group exhibition. It takes place in Hallam Community Hall on Hallam Grange Crescent and is open 10am-5pm.

As part of Sheffield’s third annual spring clean, Crosspool Forum is arranging for local residents to join together to help to keep where we live clean.
