ONLY one question remains unanswered for high-flying Morecambe, as the Nationwide Conference season nears its climax - who will be the team's first play-off opponents.

The Shrimps booked their place in the top five with a scintillating win at Farnborough on Saturday courtesy of supersub Ryan-Zico Black.

No-one is going to displace new champions Yeovil Town for the one automatic place in the Football League - but Morecambe now sit proudly in second place in the table, on top of a group of four teams with 71 points apiece.

Superior goal difference puts Morecambe in pole position with three matches remaining. But it will be the outcome of those three games that decides who Jim Harvey's band of heroes will face in the knock-out competition to come.

Scarborough, disappointed to be in seventh place in the table and just outside the play-offs, are this Saturday's visitors at Christie Park.

And on Easter Monday Harvey's men make the short trip across the Pennines to face Doncaster Rovers - themselves possible opponents in the first round of the shoot-out.

That just leaves the final league game of the season at home to Nigel Clough's Burton Albion on Saturday, April 26, as Morecambe jockey for position in the final table.

Arch rivals Chester City and Dagenham and Redbridge are the two other teams now also certain of being involved in the play-offs, with a two-legged semi final coming before the winners go head-to-head at Stoke City's Britannia Stadium.

The prize for the winner of the dogfight is that elusive place at the top table of the Football League prized by so many - but you can bet that no-one fancies it more than Morecambe's Jim Harvey?.
