With 1 game left to play Boston are nigh on champions
Middletown need a point to join them in the top fight although a narrow defeat could be enough
The playoffs are likely Larne, Shieldfield and Shurdington with Beckenham a last game chance. Derry a chance also with a good last day fixture
Les Dieus are relegated. They will be joined by 2 of Falkirk, Flyboys, Loko, and Asbo.

========================================================
Asbo All Stars won 0-1 away at Shieldfield to give themselves a last day punchers chance of staying up
We hear the thoughts of manager Simon Marsh........
"It has been a long time coming but not only did we see 2 quality goalkeeping performances we also won a game against the grain. We take the season to the last game of the season. Its a slim chance only as we have a very hard game against a team who should be performing better. Not only do we need to win the game, we need Falkirk and Flyboys not to draw and Loko not to win. Three results to go our way".
