Week 21 results round up 28th January...

Barking            20        19   Fylde

Blaydon           47          7  Birmingham Solihull

Cambridge      35         27  Coventry

Cinderford      22         12  Rosslyn Park

Sedgley Park  30          37  Blackheath

Stourbridge     19         31  Ealing Tfs

Tynedale           25         24  Macclesfield

Wharfedale       14        32  Jersey       

Some of the top table teams seem to want to make it difficult for themselves with three out of the top 5 all losing. The surprise must be Fylde losing away at Barking putting them back in 3^rd place, being replaced there by Ealing whose win at Stourbridge  puts them back in contention, especially with them splashing funds out to buy two players released by Cambridge.

Jersey continue on their winning way at Wharfedale with another final quarter strong performance, meaning that it is Jersey’s promotion to lose.

Tynedale continue their good form with a home win over fancied Macclesfield, putting them effectively out of the promotion race.

Despite Barking’s win over Fylde the relegation spots seem confirmed as Birmingham Solihull lost heavily as well as Stourbridge. Unless there is a significant loss of form, these three teams seem favourites for relegation.

Cinderford’s escape from relegation seems assured as they defeated a stuttering Rosslyn Park.

Fixtures 4th February.

Only one fixture next week, the re-arranged one between north east rivals Blaydon and Tynedale. With both sides in excellent form , surely one too close to call but may go to home advantage in the end.

The next full preview will be done for the fixtures commencing the 11^th February.

its surely far too early to say the current bottom three wil be relegated. there ar e bound to be some surprise results as teams struggle to avoid the drop & others feel safe in the top half. unfortunately on current form, failur eto pick up bonus points & with their remeining fixtures cov still look vulnerable. the sooner we pick up a couple of wins the better.
does anyone know how many points has secured nat 1 status in the last few seasons?

Wharfedale finished on 63 pts, one place above the drop zone, remembering 3 clubs go down.
