Potterspury came into this in fourth place in the league table, but knew that if they won their last 3 matches then they would pip Towcester Town (currently top, eight points ahead, but having completed their fixtures) to the title.

I was a bit concerned whether eighth place in the table Duston would bother turning out for this, as they have nothing left to play for, but turn up they did, along with five substitutes.

Potterspury got a quick goal to settle things down and had the game sewn up by halftime. The second half became a bit niggly after Duston had a man sent off ten minutes into the half, when Potterspury should have just taken it easy and coasted to the three points. The fourth goal came from a follow up to a saved penalty, before Duston had a second man sent off three minutes from time when their player hacked down a Potterspury player who had been booked for a foul on the offending player a little earlier.

Potterspury now need to win their next two games to win the league. On Saturday they make the trip to Duston, where after the second half goings on tonight the task may now be that little bit harder than it perhaps could have been.
