The first division is approaching its conclusion with just one game left to play. The league table on the links below is missing a 4-4 draw between Symonds Green & Stanstead Abbotts. Thefore, the final fixture is Essendon at home to Symonds Green. Anything other than an 8-0 loss will be good enough to secure Essendon the title.
