With less than 20 days left in the season (NL1 original) five teams are set in a mini league for one relegation position.

With less than 20 days left in the season (NL1 original) five teams are set in a mini league for one relegation position.
With results going against form it is still anybodies guess who will compete in National League One (renamed National Two) next season. Newbury, Sedgley, Otley and Manchester have already been relegated. Bristol also can no longer mathematically stay in the premiership and it looks likely that Leeds will return to Premiership next season.
Games left to play for the mini league teams.

Albion may not get the 8 points I have given them but they only need a win from their 3 remaining games if Exeter help us out by beating Titans in Rotherham next weekend.
Both Leeds and Chiefs could be promoted but the most likely team going up is Leeds so the 12 teams most likely to form the first Championship season will be.
Bedford
Birmingham & Solihull
Bristol
Coventry
Doncaster
Esher
Exeter
London Welsh
Moseley
Nottingham
Pirates
Plymouth Albion

look at Esher - sitting 12th
although they have 'quins' players their last 3 games look tough, bedford, knights and welsh - can you see them getting points from these games?
all 'we' need is for chiefs to win -i know chiefs had a bit of a 'wobble' @ coventry, but think they'll be back on track for titans - and Albion to get a bonus point from the pirates and it'll look a lot better for us
