A win for Lions at home to Warboys will move them to the summit as current leaders Moulton Harrox are in President’s Shield quarter-final action at Whittlesey Athletic.

Lions, who are playing just their second season in the top flight, moved up to second with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Leverington last weekend when strikers Luke Ball and Tom Edwards both scored.
