Osterley secured second place in Div 2 , Brentham (somehow) overhauled Chiswick to snatch the second promotion slot in Div 3. Elsewhere United Sports will be going up from Division 6.....but that didn't stop the Stallions going well and truly run-crazy against them in Week 18. For the full lowdown on all of the above, do listen in.

Elsewhere, keep an ear out for the biggest cricket tournament this century, incoming on Sunday.....
