Sandy Ladies have 2 games left to play the other title contenders 1. A match against Sharnbrook WFC in midweek if Sandy get the 3 points they move onto 36 but at the moment have an inferior goal difference to both Sherrardswood and Bishops Stortford. Will be an interesting final day this Sunday with Sandy hosting Bishops Stortford a point would be enough to give Sandy the title so long as they don’t mess up the Sharnbrook game. If Bishops Stortford were to win that might not still be enough to get the title as Sherrardswood at home to Sharnbrook could still pip it on goal difference. Right now anyone one from 3, sandy and Sharnbrook are playing as this Round-Up is being written Sharnbrook ending their league season with a huge say in where the title will go.
