With two weeks remaining of the league, the division one title was secured this week as Rugby Borough Royals hit 10 past Braunston. Charlie Whiteside struck SIX in the 10-0 victory. Jack Downes got a brace, Matthew Evans and Joe Vickers rounding off the goals.

Hillmorton beat bottom of the table Bar 8 FC 3-2. Despite plenty of chances for Bar 8, it was Hillmorton who struck first on 30 mins, Chris Halcrow equalised for Bar 8 direct from a corner on 43 mins. Hillmorton instantly hit back on half time. After the break Bar 8 kept the pressure on and equalised once again, this time through captain Will Hodgson and the Hillmorton keeper could only parry it in the roof of the net. After that, both teams had chances and the winning goal came from a stunning own goal that even Manchester United's Harry Maguire would be proud of, when Bar 8's Ali McCoist headed the ball and lobbed his own keeper to give the points to Hillmorton. Hillmorton's other scorers were Morgan Jamieson and Luke Martin.
