Hide AdSecond-placed Newport Pagnell sounded a title warning of their own last night by hammering Desborough 7-0. They are within a point of Yaxley and also have two games in hand.
Yaxley can extend that gap, for a day at least, as they are in Friday night (March 9) action at another title challenger Deeping Rangers.
Pinchbeck United are now 16 points clear at the top of Division One after a 1-0 win at Harrowby United stretched their unbeaten run to 20 matches, 18 of which have been won. They need a maximum of 11 points from eight matches to win the title at the first attempt.
Chris Shipley was their second-half match-winner last night. Pinchbeck have lost just twice all season and not at all since September 30.
