Stockport continued their sensational run of form making it five victories in a row as they defeated Barnsley 2-1.
A quickfire first half double from Isaac Olaofe and then Will Collar from the penalty spot cemented County's place in the Sky Bet League One play-offs, leaving Barnsley winless in their last five games.
After a quiet start to the game, a brilliant incisive through-ball from Lewis Bate put Olaofe in on goal and the front-man clinically fired home to ignite the contest on 31 minutes.

Three minutes later the hosts were awarded a penalty when Kyle Knoyle was clipped by Josh Earl in the box and midfielder Collar duly dispatched his spot-kick down the left for his fifth league goal this season.
Stockport's Ben Hinchliffe was the busier of the goalkeepers in the second half as he kept out long-range efforts from Adam Phillips and Davis Keillor-Dunn.
Keillor-Dunn pulled a goal back for Barnsley in the 90th minute as he was left unmarked at the back post and fired in off the post but it proved only a consolation for Darrell Clarke's side.
