ECB Premier Division

Ormskirk will be champions today if they beat Birkenhead Park and gain one bonus point; or if they beat them with no bonus point and Northern fail to gain the full 25 at New Brighton. If they fail to win, Ormskirk will still be champions if Northern don’t gain five more points than them.

Newton-le-Willows, who travel to Rainford, need just three points from their last two games to be mathematically safe; Wigan, away at Rainhill, need 13 in total but are unlikely to be overhauled. If Birkenhead Park win at Ormskirk, they will be on at least 203 points, so Southport & Birkdale will be relegated unless they secure more than five points at home to Leigh; a 25-point win for Park will leave S&B needing a tie or a win to stay in touch. New Brighton are down and certain to finish bottom.

Division One

Firwood Bootle, who are away at Lytham, need just five points to secure promotion. If Colwyn Bay win at St Helens Town, they will be up unless Highfield win at Orrell Red Triangle; Orrell themselves have an outside chance if Bay slip up. Liverpool are mathematically in touch but with two of the sides above them playing each other, will need something special to overhaul both.

Fleetwood Hesketh will be down if they fail to win at Spring View. If Old Xaverians win at Maghull, St Helens Town will have to beat Colwyn Bay – and ensure they score within five points of Xavs – or they will be down too.

Division Two 

Hightown St Mary’s are almost up, and nine points at Whitefield will make it certain. This is because Sutton and Caldy, in second and third and separated by a point, play each other; at least one will certainly drop at least 10 points, probably more. If Sutton get 25 points and Caldy 0, they are up – but any other outcome and it goes to the final day.

If Prestatyn fail to win at Parkfield Liscard, they will finish bottom. Even a 25-point win will not be enough if Southport Trinity beat Alder and Whitefield earn eight points against Hightown.
