PREMIER DIVISON
With only one fixture due to cup competitions Saffron Dynamo had a chance to gain ground on the leaders and they made no mistake. Loughborough Dynamo were beaten two goals to nil by an enthusiastic Saffron Dynamo side who showed a level of commitment and endeavour which was superior to anything on offer from Loughborough. A goal in each half was enough to seal the game on a day when Loughborough looked out of sorts and lacklustre. Loughborough fielded a remodeled side, with five changes from the team that won in the cup last week, and struggled to find cohesion for most of the game. Their task was made all the more difficult by persistently giving the ball away cheaply and showing a rather casual attitude towards getting it back. Saffron took the lead on twenty-two minutes when a cross from the right was not despatched to Row X and Saffron were first to the ball in the box. Although Loughborough did raise their game it was Saffron who were galvanised to greater efforts and they took a grip of the game that they did not release for the rest of the game. The addition of Morris and English on forty-seven minutes added a little more urgency but the pattern of the first half was largely repeated and on fifty-two minutes Loughborough gave the ball away in midfield and Saffron scored with a fine twenty yard drive. Saffron continued to press forward and had a goal disallowed for offside on fifty minutes and hit the post with chip over the Loughborough keeper on fifty-seven minutes. As the game ended away Loughborough threw caution to the wind pressing forward and were denied a penalty on seventy-two minutes but this was about as close as they came to scoring in the second half.

DIVISION ONE
Sileby Town secured a 7 - 1 away win at Ibstock Youth. Sileby scored first when John Adcock headed over the advancing Ibstock keeper after a great through ball from Steven Smith. Then Jack Dodsley put Sileby 2- 0 up with a fierce drive from distance. Ibstock then scored with a lob over the Sileby keeper to pull it back to 2-1 just before half time. In the second half Ibstock battled well as both teams went for the next goal. This was scored by Conor Simpson who shot a low drive from inside the box to put Sileby 3-1 up. Jack Dodsley scored Sileby's fourth goal with another well struck drive. Micky Ruddle then netted for Sileby's fifth goal. In the final minutes Conor Simpson played a fine through ball to Dodsley to score his third of the game and it was Simpson again who split the Ibstock defence to put through Ruddle to score Sileby Town Juniors seventh and final goal. Leaders Narborough & Littlethorpe kept top spot after just edging out Beaumont Town, Narborough gained a narrow and hard fought win in their final fixture of the year. The visitors started the better and took the lead within the first 10 minutes; they continued to be first to the ball and doubled their advantage shortly before the interval. Narborough were desperate to respond and Joe Monksfield headed home to make the half time score 2-1 to Beaumont. Into the second half and the home side came out with a determined attitude. They were awarded a disputed penalty that was coolly converted by Connor Bennett. Shortly after that the visitors were reduced to 10 men and the home side seized the initiative. They hit the post twice and the bar and found the Beaumont keeper in inspired form with some fine stops. It seemed the game was destined to end in a draw but in the final seconds Narborough forced a corner and from the resulting goalmouth scramble Sam Stancombe prodded the ball home to secure the win.
