With only 6 more matches remaining for Real Bedford the chances of winning the division edge ever closer. Having won their last match Real Bedford have managed to increase the lead over their nearest rivals on the table (Rugby Borough) by another 2 points to 14. With a total of 18 points potentially available to be gained this season, Real Bedford will be keen to close down the final result in their favour as soon as possible. The Pressure will be on for Real Bedford to maintain their perfect record for away games this season, bringing the statistical win an automatic promotion within grasp.

Northampton ON Chenecks have had a mixed season but have really started to gain strength in recent matches, losing only 1 of their past 6 matches which was to second place Rugby Borough. It could be argued that their recent run of success has been to teams placed much lower in the table; these same teams have managed several upsets of their own this season against much high placed teams. Northampton ON Chenecks is playing at home this fixture and their record for home matches is almost as good as Real Bedford's one for away matches having lost only one game at home this season to Winslow United back in October last year!

Whilst Real Bedford will be going into this fixture with high hopes and great spirits on the back of a 7-match winning streak (8 since their last loss) they also need to be mindful that their rivals have had an exceptional run recently too and will be aiming for a place in the playoffs for promotion too. This fixture is looking as though it will be filled with passion and hopes for both sides.
