Upottery Reserves need four points from their remaining two games to be certain of being crowned Macron League Division Eight champions.
The villagers drew 1-1 with the only team that could still deny them the top honour – Cullompton-based Bravehearts and so, even if the Cully side win all three of their final games, four points from home matches with Amory Green Rovers Reserves on Saturday (April 1) and Sandford Reserves on April 15, and the title will be on the top table at the end of season Upottery AFC awards night.
Macron League Division Eight table (top six) after March 25 matches. The completed season is 22 games.
