MDH Teamwear Northants Combination League Report

Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Star Award :
Corby Everards who did the double, following up their Area Cup success by securing the league title with victory over Hillmorton.

Russell Roofing Premier Division Cup:
Weldon put their opponents Milton to the sword in their second meeting in three days. Michael Chong netted twice as the league leaders romped to a 4-1 victory to book a date at Sixfields.

Russell Roofing Premier Division:
Harborough Town blew the title race open once again. Brixworth had been in the box-seat after two wins in midweek, but fatigue from these exertions may have been a prime factor in their 2-0 reverse to Harborough. An own goal and one from Mike Bass means that the title could be decided when Harborough and Weldon meet next Saturday. Brixworth meet Kislingbury on the same day. Kislingbury recorded their first win in three at Medbourne to reignite their slim title hopes.
At the opposite end of the table Paul Simpson opened the scoring for Pegasus in their clash with Whitefield Norpol. The 2-0 win they recorded moves them level with Milton, but still with two games in hand. Jamie Leah meanwhile struck the winner for Queen Eleanor who defeated Heyford 2-1.

Keystone Roofing Supplies Division 1:
A shock defeat for Blisworth at the hands of Kingfisher means that the Division 1 race also goes to the wire. Lee Sinclair and Richard McBlain both hit the target to dent their opponent’s title aspirations, which took a further blow when news of Welford’s 2-0 win over fellow contenders Ringstead came through. The two challengers will meet twice this week with the Division 1 cup final providing a dress-rehearsal for their title decider on Saturday. The winner of their meeting at Courteenhall Road will be crowned champions.
Mike Fielding struck the winner for Drayton Grange in their 3-2 success over Spratton who remain mired in trouble. Stanion meanwhile moved clear with a 3-0 win over Wootton. Bradley Phillips netted a brace. Stanwick are also safe, courtesy of a 4-2 win over Earls Barton.

Rothenberger Group Division 2:
The Division 2 championship is now a straight fight between Danesholme Vikings and Gretton. The Norsemen sealed promotion and ended Gretton’s sixteen match unbeaten run at the same time, smashing in four goals without reply. Lee Martin opened the scoring for Danesholme who need two wins from their remaining three games to take the crown.
Weedon signed off with a point away at Wollaston, with the game ending in a 4-4 draw, which would have been a 4-3 win but for an own goal. Ristee also shipped four goals to Old Grammarians, for whom James Daldy scored twice. Ranelagh also enjoyed a high-scoring win, defeating Burton 5-1. Orchard Park edged out Great Doddington 3-2.

Division 3:
Hillmorton were simply swept aside by rampant Corby Everards who snatched the Division 3 crown from long-time leaders Ise Lodge. Stephen Harrison netted a hat-trick and Dan White two as the NFA Area Cup holders romped to an 8-0 success. Sitting pretty 5-0 up at the break Everards capped the win with two excellent examples of long range finishing. Scott Collins finished a strong run by chipping the goalkeeper from outside the area, while White snatched his second with a first time strike from 25 yards.
 Ise Lodge should have taken the race to the final day, but squandered numerous gilt-edged chances at home to relegated Crick. Liam Hanley put the hosts ahead on two minutes when the Crick goalkeeper allowed the ball to squirm out of his grasp and over the line. Crick pulled level shortly before half time, but were immediately pegged back by Luke McIlroy.  Substitute Ian Biart had the final say however, restoring parity for the visitors with a cool finish 20 minutes from time.
Rising Sun denied Corby Eagles third place after their 3-2 win. Tyler Amphlett scored twice to secure the win for the Wellingborough side. Rivals Saxons also signed off with a win, thumping Rising Sun’s Cannon Street neighbours Wellingborough WMC 4-0 in their derby game.

Division 4:
West Haddon recovered from the disappointment over losing the title with a 3-1 win away at Kettering Park Rovers. The win ensures that the runners-up spot remains a distinct possibility. Simon Williams grabbed a crucial brace for CSV who edged out Walgrave 4-3. Higham Dragons edged their derby game with FC Higham 2-1, while braces for Ashley Williams and Darren Harrison earned Talisman a 4-0 win over Yardley.

Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Reserve Premier Division:
Tom Bott’s double for Harborough Town in their 5-0 battering of Gretton firmly establishes them as the only side that can prevent Weldon from claiming the championship. Steve Scales opened the scoring for Weldon who also enjoyed a big win, a 4-1 success over Pegasus. Five points from their remaining games will ensure that they are home and hosed.  Ryan Gilligan scored the only goal of the game for ON Chenecks ‘A’ as they won at Milton. Moulton enjoyed a 3-0 home success over Harpole, while Roade were the only one of the South Northants sides in action to win, a 3-1 success over Khalsa. Nick Howard got two for Roade.

Reserve Division 1:
Josh Dawson scored a hat-trick to send Blisworth top of the table. Their 6-0 win over Medbourne puts them in control of the division. Brixworth also won, 5-0 away at Bugbrooke ‘B’. While Medbourne and Brixworth retain mathematical chances of taking top spot, games in hand effectively leave it to be decided between Blisworth and Orchard Park, who meet next Saturday.

Reserve Division 2:
Dainite missed the chance to move into double figures in their last game of the season, going down 3-2 to Crick. Champions Earls Barton meanwhile signed off in style, a 4-0 win over Spratton gaining a modicum of revenge over the side that inflicted their first league defeat earlier in the season.
