LEAGUE TABLES: National League
A one point National League victory for Ipswich at Blakenham last night, keeps their slender title hopes alive. Ipswich travel to Poole on Sunday (08 September) knowing only a victory will continue their 2024 title challenge. Poole still have a realistic chance of becoming champions but a loss to Ipswich will severely dent their ability to catch Birmingham, who top the table.
With two matches left, it is not mathematically possible for Blakenham nor last year’s champions, Kesgrave, to catch Birmingham.
