Champions Ellistown edge 15 points clear.
Champions Ellistown edged 15 points out with a 4-3 defeat of Cottesmore whilst the pendulum swung in favour of Holwell Sports clinching the runners up spot.
Holwell, Leicester Fencing finalists, came away from Saffron Dynamo with a 0-1 away win, who then travelled to Narborough and Littlethorpe and went down 5-4 to end their interest and a probable 4th place finish. Holwell made it 2 midweek victories with a 2-0 defeat of Dunton and Broughton Rangers to go 2nd whilst the other challenger, Asfordby Amateurs, were undone by a 1st half double from Jamie Munday at Lutterworth Town to go down 2-1, leaving them 2 points adrift of Holwell with 2 games left.
Ashby Ivanhoe secured a top 6 finish with a 0-2 away win at bottom placed FC Khalsa and Bardon Hill Sports completed the 6 with a 5-0 defeat of Hathern.
Narborough and Littlethorpe made it 2 wins on the spin with a 1-0 defeat of Anstey Nomads whilst Cottesmore Amateurs posted a rare home win with a 3-1 defeat of Ravenstone.
Huncote Sports and Social were on the receiving end of a goal scoring blitz, in mid week Anstey Nomads hit them 2-13 as Jason Scrimshaw hit both Huncote goals and Kev Wilson-4, Warren York-3 and Shane Smith-2 netted the goals for Nomads. At the weekend they conceded 4 more in a 0-4 home defeat by Dunton and Broughton Rangers as Ryan Voce and Steve Johnson hit a brace apiece.
