Champions High Wycombe saw their lead extended even though they only managed to survive with a draw against Oxford. With Slough and Reading both losing there are now 5 clubs who could take up the runners-up spot after the final round of matches next week.
At the other end of division 1 North Mymms have dragged themselves from the bottom position which they have occupied since the end of June. Their victory over Reading lifts them above Basingstoke and just 14 points behind Finchampstead, the only other club in danger of relegation.
