The race for the title in the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division has had a dramatic twist over the last few weeks as Tring Athletic parted company with their first team manager Kevin Christou and most of their first team squad have left the club - Chris Juraszek and James Shaw have taken over the running of the first team - Athletic have lost to both Wembley and North Greenford United in their last three league games - tafc.co.uk has all the details and news of the developments at The Grass Roots Stadium. 

Colney Heath are now five points clear at the top despite losing to Baldock Town, Leighton Town and Biggleswade United in their last six league games. Biggleswade United are 14 points behind The Magpies so tomorrow night's eagerly anticipated fixture at Colney Heath is a must win for them should they want to have any chance of finishing top at the end of the season. The table toppers then entertain the new look Tring Athletic on Saturday. 

Baldock Town are the form side of the division winning nine of their last ten league games scoring 26 goals and letting in 21 - they are closely followed by FA Vase heroes Leighton Town who have won eight and lost two of their last ten scoring 24 and letting in 9. Baldock Town manager Adam Fisher will be very pleased at his team's turn around in form - they were on 0.56 points per game over the first 16 games of the season which has increased to 2.70 PPG over the last 10 games which is title winning form.

London Colney are bottom of the table and without a win in seventeen league games and only three wins in total (out of twenty-five league games played) so far. They are currently seven points adrift of North Greenford United whose results have improved lately with three wins in their last six games. In relation to potential relegation this season the bottom side from each of the fourteen step five divisions will be ranked on a points per game basis with the best two sides receiving a reprieve and the other twelve demoted. LCFC will need to start picking up wins quickly of they will be a step six side for the 2020/21 campaign. They get a night off from league fixtures tomorrow when they (weather permitting) entertain Bostik Premier Division side Cheshunt in the Herts Senior Cup Quarter-Final.
