SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION - THE RACE FOR THE TITLE

SPARTAN SOUTH MIDLANDS LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION  
CURRENT TABLE - TOP FIVE ONLY 
 POSITION TEAM GD  PTS  FORM  PPG 
1. TRING ATHLETIC  16  +29 36  WWLWLL 2.25
2.  COLNEY HEATH  14  +24 36  WLWWLW 2.57
3.  NEWPORT PAGNELL  16 +22 32 WWDDDD 2.00
4.   BIGGLESWADE UTD  17 +9 31  LWWDWL 1.82
5.   HARPENDEN TOWN  17  +7 30  WWDWLW 1.76


Both Tring Athletic and Colney Heath's form has stuttered somewhat over the last six games. Colney Heath have been impressive all season but have lost against Wembley (16th) and Oxhey Jets (8th) recently with Tring Athletic losing to in-form Leighton Town (10th) as well as Harpenden Town (5th) and Baldock Town who have been struggling towards the bottom of the table although they have also picked up a creditable points in draws at Newport Pagnell Town and Potton United in their last two games. 

Newport Pagnell Town are unbeaten in eight league games but have drawn five of those - they will need to start winning games to keep in touch. 

Many people say that "strikers win matches but defenders win leagues" so we'll take a look at the goals conceded per game table which shows Colney Heath are someway ahead conceding just 0.50 goals every game compared to Biggleswade United on 1.76 - The Magpies also have the most clean sheets with seven in fourteen games - 

TEAM GOALS CONCEDED PER GAME CLEAN SHEETS/GAMES 
COLNEY HEATH   0.50  7/14 (50.00%) 
TRING ATHLETIC   0.94  6/16 (37.50%)
HARPENDEN TOWN 1.41  2/17 (11.76%)
NEWPORT PAGNELL 1.63  5/16 (31.25%)
BIGGLESWADE UTD 1.76  2/17 (11.76%)

As you can see from the forthcoming fixtures there is a huge game between Newport Pagnell Town and Tring Athletic scheduled for Saturday 7th December.
