Rothley Imps move out of the bottom 2.

The weather wiped out most of the league fixtures but Thurmaston Town ground out a 4-0 defeat of Aylestone Park to maintain their top 2 presence. It was not a pretty game but they put their chances away as Jack McKew and Nick Shepperd gave them a 2-0 half time lead and Connor Packwood and Matt Wolfe finished off the Aylestone challenge.

Rothley Imps moved out of the bottom 2, at the expense of Downes Sports, when they picked up their 1st point in 5 starts after Wayne Smart found an equaliser, to cancel out the opening goal from Paul Hughes, in the 1-1 draw with Highfield Rangers.

Blaby and Whetstone and Athletic let slip the opportunity to pick up their 1st win in 4 starts when Paul Speight netted a 2nd half equaliser to give Constabulary a 2-2 draw, as they continue to move away from the relegation battle. Marc Brewin opened the scoring for the home side but an OG brought the Constabulary level at the break. Elliot Dalton restored the Blaby lead before Speight struck with 15 minutes to go to force Blaby into their second 2-2 draw on the spin.
