Yaxley (blue) need to bounce back to winning ways against St Andrews.

Previous results this week had left top spot in the hands of leaders Yaxley. Win their final four games and they would be champions, but they failed at the first hurdle by drawing 0-0 at Eynesbury.

That was great news for their closest pursuers Wisbech, Holbeach and Newport Pagnell. Wisbech and Pagnell now have the games in hand to overtake the Cuckoos.
