Congratulations to Mansfield, League Title winners for the fourth consecutive season, after defeating Gambit 1 by a commanding 4-1 score line. Mansfield were ruthless and efficient against an under-strength Gambit 1 team. They decisively collect the three wins needed to clinch the title, and are content to agree draws on the two remaining boards. Over the course of the season, Mansfield are deserved title-winners. University 1 scored two excellent wins against them, which put them in a position to wrest the title but, needing two points from their last two games, could not quite get over the line.
In D2 Radcliffe & Bingham 1, with a narrow win over West Bridgford 2 and Ashfield 1 with a strong win over Grantham 2 continue to press their promotion bids.
In D3 Gambit 3’s defeat to Newark 2 gives Radcliffe & Bingham 2 a chance to overtake them.
In D5 a very busy week, two teams have played twice. Newark 3 clinch their expected promotion spot.
Phil
