Divisional races still open

01 Mar 2006

As we come to the final month of the indoor season, the races are still open in all 3 divisions of the Met Essex League.
In Division 1, Chingford A are stuck in mid table. If we win our last 2 games we could finish 4th. Wanstead A are clear favourites to finish 1st but Newham A, Walthamstow A and Fives can still overtake them. The relegation battle is between 3sides, with 2 of Frenford, South Loughton A and Newham B facing the drop to Division 2.
Division 2 is still wide open. With 1 or 2 games left for each side, five clubs are still in the promotion hunt. Chingford B and Hainault & Clayhall are favourites as they are the only clubs whose destiny is in their own hands. The Bs need just 3 points from their remaining game to ensure promotion. Chingford C are still in with a chance of avoiding relegation to division 3. If they win their last game against bottom side Woodford Green and the B team win their last game against Ford Sports, the Cs will stay up.
The D team are in 3rd place in division 3, just 6 points behind second placed Ford Sports B with 2 matches still to play. In division 3, the two sides that finish bottom will get relegated into the Waltham Abbey Sunday League.
