Uppingham Town’s 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Ketton means they will go down from the Premier Division, but Thorney, who didn’t play, are now safe.

It’s a fine achievement by Thorney who lost their first 13 matches of the season when they stood on -1 point!

Stilton United’s 3-2 home defeat by ICA Sports means they just sweat over survival for another game at least. Crowland can still overhaul them by winning both of their final two games, although a point for Stilton from their final game against Ketton would ensure they stay up.

Moulton Harrox Reserves didn’t play last night, but were confirmed as Division One champions by second-placed Warboys Town’s 2-2 draw with Whittlesey Athletic Reserves.

That result was good enough for Warboys to seal a top three spot which should lead to promotion to the top flight as Moulton cannot be promoted because of the presence of their first team in the Premier Division.

Sutton Bridge United are a point (from two games) away from joining them after a 2-1 success over Long Sutton Athletic last night.

Moulton Harrox moved up to third with a 4-2 win at Holbeach United Reserves last night. Netherton United will return to third with a win over Sawtry at the Grange tonight. The city side won 3-0 at Sawtry last Saturday (April 22).

The top two in Division Two clash tonight when Ramsey host Whittlesey Athletic A.

Premiair will clinch the Division Four title with a win over Parkside tonight. That would be back-to-back titles for a team who played under the Limetree UTR banner in Division Five last season.
