The Ox-fford ‘C’ are in pole position to win the A League and will do so without
question if they beat the Dolphin Dragons tonight. At the other end of the
table, the British Flag’s win over the Dolphin last week has lifted them out of
the bottom two. Two teams from the Flag, Harrington Academicals and Church
House Bollington will finish below the dreaded line after tonight’s games, in
which the Flag and the Harrington play each other whilst the Church House host
the Dolphin.
In the B League, congratulations to the Knot Know-Alls for ensuring their promotion to the A League next season – their second promotion on the run. They have played all their games now and can’t finish worse than in second place – indeed they could still top the table depending on other results.
Two other teams are contesting the
remaining promotion spot: the Waters Green Phoenix will be promoted – and will
be B League Champions – if they beat the Nags Head tonight, whilst the Robin
Hood (also going for two consecutive promotions) could be promoted if they beat
the Plough Taverners and the Phoenix lose – “total points scored” could be
crucial. The Nags Head need to beat the Phoenix to give themselves a chance of
staying up. Calculators will be out in the B League by the end of the night!
The C League is more of a certainty in that the Lamb Inn and the Wharf are
guaranteed promotion; tonight’s games will just settle who wins the title and
who is runner-up. The Lamb are 2 points ahead and a win tonight against the
Park Timers would guarantee them the title. Should the Lamb lose, the Wharf
need to beat the Harrington ‘B’ and it is possible they could then win the
title on “total points scored”.
This has been the most closely
contested season for a while – and all the more entertaining for it. All that
remains after
all this will be the Finals Night…
