Last week’s loss to Guildford really put the cat among the pigeons and set up a fascinating end of season. With a win against Guildford and a victory in the next game at New Forest, Aces would have sealed the championship with a game to spare – but now it goes right down to the wire. It’s a straight three-horse race (the next team is Team Southampton who can only reach 40 points).
The division winner is promoted automatically. The team finishing second will play off against the second-placed team in Div 2(N) and the third-bottom team from Division 1. All scenarios (that I can manage) are explained below. Read more

It’s another busy weekend for the Reading Aces ladies’ teams this weekend.
Our NVL Ladies are in action at Tendring Technology College, starting at 11:30. With Oxford and Guildford both playing each other as part of a triangular with Sussex Dolphins, a victory here is vital to keep up the pressure on both teams. Oxford have played two games more already, but Guildford will make up their game in hand this weekend.
The BVA Ladies face a tough challenge at home to Oxford Ladies 1 and Spikeopaths Ladies 1. Oxford Ladies 1 are the runaway league leaders, with our local rivals hot on their heels. A win against either team would go down as a major upset. Please come along and lend your support from 4pm.
Good luck to all involved!
