This was 7th versus 12th (2nd bottom) in the league table, in what was the last match of the season for both teams. Spratton have climbed off the bottom of the table, having drawn their last two away games, but have failed to win any of their previous 23, having picked up 9 draws along the way, so this was the last chance for them to get a win on the board.

Roade went in front early on with a breakaway goal that was a good 7-8 yards offside. The Spratton ‘keeper was their man of the match, pulling off endless saves to keep them in it. The two late goals were a little harsh on the visitors, but the score line did reflect how the game had gone. It means that Brixworth All Saints will have to win their final match to leapfrog Spratton at the foot of the table, whilst Roade finish the season in fifth place.
