This league continues to amaze with two surprise away wins by Blaydon at highflying Fylde and by Tynedale at previously 3rd placed Rosslyn Park. Ealing come back to form and 2nd place following their large victory over Wharfedale, whilst Jersey maintain their run with a close fought victory over Cinderford.
Macclesfield 8th win in 9 brings them just 3 points behind 2nd place, with now only 8 points separating the top 5 teams.
At last Coventry get back to winning ways with a hard fought battle over bottom club Barking, whilst the two other relegation candidates Birmingham Solihull and Stourbridge lose again to put more daylight between the mid table teams and the bottom three.
Week 21 fixtures 28th January
Barking v Fylde
Blaydon v Birmingham Solihull
Cambridge v Coventry
Cinderford v Rosslyn Park
Sedgley Park v Blackheath
Stourbridge v Ealing Tfs
Tynedale v Macclesfield
Wharfedale v Jersey
This week all top 6 teams are all away, but once again some surprises are expected. Leaders Jersey face a tricky visit to Wharfedale, whose inconsistent form sometimes belies what they can produce. 2nd place Ealing Tfs and 4th place Rosslyn Park also cannot be sure of winning away at Stourbridge and Cinderford respectively.
Macclesfield will look to put more pressure on the top 4 if they can get a result over Tynedale away, whilst there are mid table clashes between Cambridge and Coventry, and Sedgley Park and Blackheath.
In the relegation zone Birmingham Solihull can’t fancy their chances on the long trip north to face a buoyant Blaydon after their surprise win over Fylde, whilst Stourbridge and Barking do not expect to get anything from their home games with Ealing and Fylde respectively.
