The race for the Hertfordshire Senior County League title now appears to be two horse race between Metropolitan Police (Bushey) and Baldock Town who have games in hand over third placed Bush Hill Rangers and a good points advantage over fourth placed Standon and Puckeridge. All roads will lead to the Bushey Sports Club on Aldenham Road on Sautrday 30th March when Baldock Town visit fro what could be real title decider. Before then the police go to Knebworth (known at The Mighty K's) this weekend who are second bottom but have beaten Bush Hill Rangers and Sandridge Rovers as well as gaining a respectable draw at Whitwell since the turn of the year. They then go to Standon and Puckeridge who have only been defeated once in their last thirteen games.

 

Baldock Town have a busy week ahead of them with a massive local derby Anagram Records Fourth Round game at Letchworth Garden City Eagles on Saturday which should attract a decent crowd followed by The Hertfordshire Senior Centenary Trophy Final on Tuesday night against Spartan South Midlands League Division Two side Broxbourne Borough. They then welcome Sandridge Rovers in a league fixture on Saturday 23rd March.
In form Standon & Puckeridge may hold the key to where the title ends up as they have to play the Met Police (Bushey) twice and Baldock Town once in league fixtures.

Bush Hill Rangers have lost three of the their last seven league games against Bovingdon (14th), Standon (4th) and Knebworth (15th). TheColdEnd thinks this form indicates they will not be involved in the title race.

The league's famous Aubery Cup competition now has three of the four semi-finalists known who are Met Police (Bushey), Bedmond Sports & Social and Whitwell. The final space will be the winners of the Aslan v Bushey Rangers tie to be played this Saturday at Pymmes Park in Edmonton. Bedmond are third in Division One at present with Aslan in second place with both teams favourites for the title with games in hand over current leader's Hatfield RBL. Aslan should win the game versus Bushey Rangers tomorrow as they are third from bottom in the league table at present.

CURRENT DIVISION ONE TABLE - TOP THREE ONLY

TEAM	P	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	PTS	FORM	PP
HATFIELD RBL	23	17	1	5	85	36	+49	52	DLWWWW	79
ASLAN	19	15	2	2	75	25	+50	47	LDDWWW	86
BEDMOND SPORTS & SOCIAL	18	14	2	2	61	21	+40	44	WWLLDW	86

The problem for many clubs is fitting in the many rearranged fixtures from the snow and bad weather before the scheduled end of the season. Bedmond have 14 games to play so this is obviously going to be a problem. They'll be lots of 6pm kick offs when the evenings get lighter.

Aslan's home game with Hatfield RBL on Saturday 30th March looks a good game in prospect with Bedmond still due to visit Edmonton by the end of the season.
