Heyford Athletic avoided the ignominy of being the first Premier Division side not to pick up a Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Premier Division point with two draws on the spin.
A midweek stalemate with Milton put the first point on the board, and a follow up with fellow strugglers Ringstead at the weekend finally put some smiles on Heyford faces.

Milton moved into third after victory against Pegasus with a top half finish looking likely after several seasons of languishing at the wrong end of the table. Brixworth and Stanion drew.

Onto spot-kicks and Wilby’s failure to convert any of their first four kicks saw Comms crowned champions.
