FOLLOWING THE SALTMEN

While Spa were making their gracious exit from the “Who Gives a Feck Cup“ on Saturday, there was also a lot of action in the Hellenic League Division One. As you might imagine, this has had an effect on a number of clubs with eyes on the title.

The table above shows that two of the clubs who last week still had a theoretical chance of finishing first, Stratford and Shortwood, have now been eliminated from the title race as they cannot equal Spa’s current points tally even if they were to win all their remaining games.

A win for the Saltmen at Carterton this Saturday would take Spa’s total out of reach of Clanfield and, barring some freakish scores, Wantage – due to Spa’s large goal difference advantage.

There’s still a lot of points up for grabs, particularly for Redditch who could reach a total of 74 points. So Spa still need three wins and a draw and for Redditch’s opponents to avoid conceding a cricket score or two.

I’m off for my tea now.

Cheers
