Uppingham, who had to forfeit a win against Wisbech Reserves for fielding an ineligible player, probably need to win their final game against group leaders Wittering Premiair and then hope goal difference falls in their favour.

Netherton United also need help to survive after losing to Deeping Rangers Reserves at the Grange. Ben Porter, Keelan Walker and Rajan Badani scored for Deeping in a 3-1 win after Louie Venni had fired te city side in front. Deeping need a point from group leaders Stamford Bels in their final game to knock Netherton out.
