In the Premier Division most of the fixtures are all but complete now. Great Missenden ended with a rare 0-0 draw with Tetsworth, they must hope Tetsworth can do the same to Hale Leys whom they play twice and need just three points for the title. Prestwood beat Aylesbury Vikings 4-0, the winners should finish third, Vikings a disappointing sixth.

In Division One it seems very likely Wingrave and FC Bierton will be promoted after both winning. Wingrave were pegged back twice by Stoke Mandeville but grabbed a late winner for 3-2. George Morris with two more goals, Danny Coggins the other. Bierton all but ended AVD Sports chances beating then also 3-2, there is now a 15 point gap between 2nd and 3rd. There are just six points between 3rd and 8th .
