Ardley bids to make EFL cut

- John Richardson

SOLIHULL MOORS' ground was once a golf driving range but they will be on the fairway to EFL heaven with victory today against Grimsby in the National League play-off final.

Neal Ardley's side finds themselves on the equivalent of the back nine, hoping their ambitions don't end up in a bunker at West Ham's London Stadium.

The Birmingham club - formed following a merger between Solihull Borough and Moor Green in 2007 have raced up the football leaderboard since the days of being immersed in the lower reaches of the non-league pyramid.

Former Sunderland and Everton defender Ian Atkins lives locally and has helped out whenever he can, never forgetting the opportunity Moor Green gave him as a schoolboy.
