FarnboroughTorquay United 1-2
Chesham United- Weymouth beaten 4-1 at Eastbourne are relegated

- Eastbourne Dorking and Torquay are close at hand with the other two PO spots between B.Wood, Maidstone or W-s-M

Kettering Town 2-2 Hitchin Town

Banbury UnitedSt Ives Town 0-0 Halesowen Town
Stamford 1-0 Bishop's Stortford

Basingstoke Town 0-1 Gosport Borough
Frome Town 0-1
Chertsey TownGloucester City 3-3 Dorchester Town
Hanwell Town 2-1 Merthyr Town
rare defeat for ‘Martyrs’ but they hold a big lead over 2nd placed TottonHavant & Waterlooville 3-2 Swindon Supermarine
– 2 more for Ryan SeagerHungerford Town 0-3 AFC Totton
Poole Town 1-0
MarlowTiverton Town 2-1
Bracknell TownWalton & Hersham 2-1 Wimborne Town
Winchester City 0-1 Plymouth Parkway
- below Totton, the PO places 3rd to 5th are currently W&H, Gloucester and Havant: with Dorchester only a point behind.
- Big defeat for ‘Crusaders’ almost certainly finished off their remote chance of joining in.
- at the bottom following already relegated Marlow down, are likely to be any three from about half-a-doz clubs – Bracknell are probably safe but may need one more win to be sure.
- Chertsey, Basingstoke, Supermarine & Poole will hope to stay above Tivvy, Winchester and Frome – 4 games to goSL1-C
Aylesbury United 1-4 Real Bedford
– leaders RB probably need a point for the title
– been ‘big talks’ involving an ongoing merger with very near neighbours Town (come ‘take-over of’) Berkhamsted 0-0
Kidlington – creditable point for ‘Kiddy’ here at 2nd placed ‘Berko’ but they are still deep in the relegation mixHertford Town 4-6
Flackwell Heath – ‘Heathens’ fought back from 2-4 down just before the break – Makowski with 2 goals 2nd halfKings Langley 0-2
Beaconsfield TownLeighton Town 1-2

Bideford 2-1
Didcot TownMalvern Town 3-0-
Thatcham Town – ‘Kingfishers’ fate looks grim – 9 pts adrift with only 5 to play
- Champions here likely to be Yate or Evesham (3pts behind) with the POs made up of Mousehole, Bps Cleeve & Malvern - Bemerton HH (suburb of Salisbury) & Exmouth still in touching distance and both have a game in handhttps://southern-football-league.co.uk/uploads/documents/originals/Edition%2034.pdfIL1-SC
Ascot United 0-0 Ashford Town (Middx)
– ‘Yellamen’ drop out of the PO spotsBadshot Lea 0-2 Guernsey
Binfield 0-1 Moneyfields
Hartley Wintney 1-3 Hanworth Villa
– Hartley who were well-set & chasing a PO spot not long ago, have seen recent form fall off a cliff:
- 8 defeats in 10 – yet with those around them showing similarly bewildering inconsistency, they are still only 6 points behind H&Y in 5th!
- Villa’s recent form has seen them head in the opposite direction and are up to 3rd Hayes & Yeading United 2-1
Farnham Town - only Town’s 3rd defeat of the termKingstonian 1-4 Rayners Lane
– 5th defeat in 6 for K’s who drop to 4th South Park (Reigate) 3-0 Harrow Borough

Ardley United 1-1
BurnhamBroadfields United 1-2 Bedfont Sports
Harefield United 3-1
Reading CityHilltop 2-1
Amersham Town – rare defeat for Magpies sees them finish 2nd , providing they avoid defeat next Sat at home to Bedfont Sp. with Egham confirmed as Champs. Milton United 5-2 British Airways
Wembley 1-2 Risborough Rangers
Wokingham Town 2-2 Edgware & Kingsbury
– Bedfont Sports pretty secure in 3rd for the POs . The remaining 2 spots are between Burnham (2) Harefield (5) Holyport (3) Milton (3) and NGU (4)
(games left)
- dropping to Div One almost certainly Wembley then one from E&K, Berks Co or perhaps Risborough - should they suffer a 5 goal defeat @ NGU on the 19th – which would drop them below the ‘Swords’ who have finished their fixtures.
E&K a point below them but with better GD, host the ‘Sumas’ next week then finish @ AmershamCCL-PS
Chipstead 3-3 Spelthorne Sports
Epsom & Ewell 1-0
Alton
Guildford City 1-4
Fleet TownRedhill 1-1 Jersey Bulls
– att 576
- title race not run quite yet – high drama here too – the visitors grabbed a lead on 85’ only for the ‘Lobsters’ to salvage a point on 91’
- the two sides meet again at Springfield next w/e
- ‘Bulls’ still lead on GD and have a game in hand –Vase Finalists Whyteleafe are 4 pts behind with 3 games to play but all of them away
- joining two of the above sides in the POs and finishing a distance behind are Cobham and Fleet – Tadley heavy loss at home almost certainly ends their season. Sandhurst Town 0-5
Camberley Town
Tadley Calleva 1-4 Horley Town
Tooting & Mitcham United 2-2 Abbey Rangers
CCL-1
Belstone 4-0 Staines & Lammas (Middlesex)
Brook House 1-0
Windsor & Eton –
W/E rather crawling towards the finish line – lost 3 in the last 4.
- only realistically need 1 point from 3 games remaining – and could confirm the Title next week if they avoid defeat at 2nd placed Westside (who ‘lodge’ at CWU)Chalfont St Peter 0-5 Bedfont
Colliers Wood United 0-1 Rising Ballers Kensington
Eversley & California 2-0 Hillingdon Borough
Oxhey Jets 2-2 Westside
PFC Victoria London 5-1 Molesey
– still no idea how (nor where) PFC are fulfilling their fixtures
- their g/share at Ashford T’s Robert Parker Stadium has been on hold for months whilst the pitch has been relaid – the project much delayed
– the ‘landlords’ do finally have a home game on it NEXT w/e
– it’s difficult to imagine the Poles were allowed to have first use of it and they have another two ‘home’ league games scheduled for this midweek but there’s little or no info about venues even from their opponent’s 'SocMed'?Spartans Youth 0-2
Holmer GreenWoodley United 2-2 London Samurai Rovers
– in the end United pleased to grab a point very late on here
– I managed to fight my way out of the SCL Car Park, up the A33 and across Town to arrive about 30 mins in – no score at that point
- four goals late in the 2nd half, in what was eventually an entertaining game and made the earlier travelling trauma slightly worthwhile. The 'Rivers' and 'Parka' eased the mood too ....
- Was my 4th attempt to get there (Scours) this season, after a 12:30 KO – all previously aborted, perils of using Stadium parking 
– fairly certain for one of those earlier game I didn’t reach the A33 until about 15:30 – wasn’t one with a particularly big crowd either! Yateley United 3-3
Penn & Tylers Green – POs more or less decided ; joining Westside, P&T Gn & Belstone will be Eversley or Hillingdon – though the ‘Boars’ win when the 2 met yesterday, may have settled that – had to wait until 87’ for the first goal though.HELL1
Abingdon United {SEVEN} 7-3 Wellington
Bewdley Town 2-2
Wantage Town Redditch Borough 4-0 Kidlington Res
- POs will involve a three-way battle between relatively ‘local’ sides: Ab T Wantage and Clanfield trying to join 2nd placed Redditch
– FC Stratford in 3rd have completed their fixtures and must hope those three don’t all win to push them down to 6thSCE-1
FC Elmstead 2-1 Forest Hill Park SSM-P
Dunstable Town 1-1
Aylesbury Vale Dynamos WESS-1
AFC Aldermaston 3-2 Totton & Eling
Alresford Town 1-2 New Milton Town
– att 205 – NMT Champions barring complete collapse in their last three and a maximum for Alresford from their 4 remaining games. Ash United 2-1 Hamworthy United
Folland Sports 0-3
Cove Ringwood Town 0-3
Whitchurch United- all of the other featured sides that flirted with demotion here, would appear to be safe after a decent set of results yesterday ..... and over the last couple of weeks.
- Aldermaston even in the slightest peril of finishing top-half 
, which would be a nice boost for big Marcus 
in what has always been a challenging role.
and no-doubt, 100 yards away from the brewery in Scours too
