Harrison admits his focus is already on planning for next season after his reigning champions fell 10 points behind Harrox last weekend.

Netherton conceded a late equaliser to Whittlesey Athletic at the Grange on Saturday, while Harrox were easing to a 2-0 success at home to Leverington Sports.

“To be honest I’m already planning for next season,” Harrison, who has now completed a six-match touchline ban, admitted. “Harrox won’t drop enough points for us to catch them.”
