HERTS SENIOR COUNTY LEAGUE

THE RACE FOR TITLE

London Lions 0-2 victory at Wormley Rovers last Saturday did put them fully in the driver's seat to gain promotion to the Spartan South Midlands League Division One. All three team's vying for the Premier Division Championship have applied for promotion to the SSMFL and it's impossible to say who will win the title and in turn promotion to a higher level of football for the 2010/11 season.

London Lions (who are currently playing at St Albans City's Clarence Park) followed up their important victory against their title rivals with only a 3-3 draw at home to 11th placed Cuffley on Tuesday with ex Towner Dean Nyman getting on the score-sheet for the Lions. Baldock kept up their challenge with a 3-2 home victory versus Met Police Bushey.

Here is the current league Premier Division table (top three only):

Wormley continue their challenge tonight against Hertford Heath and then it will leave Baldock with four games left, Wormley with five games left and London Lions with seven games left in under a month.

The key games look to be Baldock travelling to Wormley Rovers on the 4th of May and London Lions entertaining Wormley Rovers on the 8th May.

The race for the title in Divison One is also an exciting one with Hinton who are based in Holtwhites Hill in Enfield currently top but any team from 4th placed Letchworth Garden City Eagles can win the division.

Hinton have one game left away against 2nd bottom AFC Hatfield Town next Wednesday so should finish on 64 points. The title looks to be in the hands of 4th placed Eagles who have a few games in hand, they have also qualified for this season's Aubery Cup (The Herts County League Cup) by beating local rivals Baldock Town Letchworth in the quarter final and Wormley Rovers in the semi-final. The Eagle's Pixmore home is next door (through the hedge) to the County Ground where their Premier Division neighbours play their games in the Hertfordshire town.

The Eagles face St Peters (A), Buntingford Town (H), 2nd placed Harpenden Rovers (H), Allenburys Sports (H) and Whitwell (A) in their quest to win the league and showed they are a very good team full of goals and confidence by winnning 10-2 at Kimpton Rovers yesterday evening.
