Table topping Colney Heath once again left it late to secure the three points on offer, goals in the 80th and 87th minutes bringing about a 2-1 win over visiting Leverstock Green. The Hertfordshire club’s lead at the top was stretched to four points following the shock defeat for second placed Harefield United, the ‘Hares’ were surprisingly beaten 4-2 at home by neighbouring Edgware Town. A solitary goal from the penalty spot saw Harpenden Town move into third place in the standings following their home win over Wembley. Tring Athletic remain rooted at the foot of the table after their six successive league defeat, hosts Potton United winning 3-1 with one of the goals going viral so apologies to the Tring Athletic custodian for posting the following link, https://twitter.com/i/status/1313561593637220353.

Well I suppose it had to happen, a game postponed. Nothing strange about that I hear you cry, well read on, the St Neots Town v Welwyn Garden City Southern League fixture was called off according to Citizens manager Nicky Ironton’s tweet – Wow!! Just been informed our game v St Neots is off tonight! Not due to a waterlogged pitch – but worm casts? Later reports state the pitch was waterlogged.
