7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "Aldershot had finished in sixth place in the Fourth Division while Wolverhampton Wanderers finished fourth." - repetition of "finished"
• "They were joined in the play-offs by fifth-placed Colchester United and Bolton Wanderers, who had finished in 21st place in the division above." - repetition of "place(d)"
• "Aldershot defeated Bolton Wanderers in their semi-final, consigning the latter to relegation, while Wolverhampton Wanderers defeated Colchester United in the other semi-final." - repetition of "defeated"
• The term relegation can be wikilinked to the appropriate article in the first paragraph

Route to the final

• "For the first two years of the play-offs, the club which had finished immediately above the relegation places in the Third Division competed with three clubs from the Fourth Division immediately below the promotion positions for a place in the second tier of English football for the following season." - repetition of each of "club(s)" and "place(s)"
• "the game into extra time" - text is a little too close to The Times source

Second leg (summary)

• "Ten officers and a police horse were injured in the riot while forty-two people," - try to avoid starting a sentence with a number figure

Post-match

• "The Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Graham Turner" - avoid MOS:SEAOFBLUE here

References

• Does Reference 12 "Win gives the Wolves a firm grip" have a page number?
