These two have been in a three way fight for the title along with A.F.C. Cressex, who have already finished their fixtures and top the table on 39 points. Barton Rovers were second on 35 points and would have one match to play after tonight. They were so confident that they will win their last match that they had tweeted yesterday that a win here tonight would see them crowned champions! Pundit were third with 30 points, with three to play, although no result has appeared yet for their game last Saturday (it was mentioned that they drew 1-1, which means they now can’t win the league, although this may not be correct).

Even if they can’t now win the league, Pundit still had a chance to grab the second promotion place, and would still have a massive say on which of the other two would end up as champions. As it turned out, it went the way of A.F.C, Cressex. Pundit were the better side from the off and Barton Rovers looked really poor. There was plenty of effort, but very little attacking flair from either side and it looked like it would end up a certain 0-0 from quite early on. The deadlock was finally broken eleven minutes from time, when a 20 yard free kick was fired into the bottom corner of the net to win it for the hosts.
