In the final week of fixtures Blisland B or Choughs can still take top spot in the East to set up a final against Wanderers over two legs.

Choughs play first on Tuesday night with a tricky away match against Tintagel Knights.  To stand any chance of taking top spot Choughs simply have to win at Tintagel, a venue where very few away teams pick up points.  Choughs have a healthy lead on shots from the first leg of the.

On Friday Blisland B will know exactly what they need when they travel to Landrake to face the Oggies.  Blisland B have a 12 shot lead from the first leg and simply defending that will see them take top spot.
