  Oadby Town blew their chance of taking second place – and look to have missed out on the chance of being promoted to the United Counties League. The Poachers went into their final game, at home to Thurnby Nirvana, in second place and knowing that a win would keep them ahead of Borrowash Victoria. However, Thurnby ran out 4-2 winners as Matt Melbourne, Brett Marvin, Ryan Walker and Ash Day stunned the bulk of a bumper crowd at...

  Oadby Town still have a sniff of the East Midlands Counties League title. And they can thank neighbours Blaby & Whetstone Athletic for playing their part in that. Blaby caused an upset when they travelled to title-chasing Borrowash Victoria and picked up a 1-0 victory courtesy of Leigh Natzel's strike. The Poachers helped themselves, too, when they edged out Blackwell Miners Welfare 1-0 at Greene King Park. Jon Stevenson...

  Saturday was hardly a day for the bulk of the county's EMCL sides to remember with any degree of happiness. The exception was Holwell Sports, the only local side to pick up three points – and they did that at the expense of Leicestershire rivals Thurnby Nirvana. Ben Smedley struck the only goal of the game at Dakyn Road as Holwell continued their recent good form with a third successive victory. The most costly defeat,...

  Oadby Town's title hopes suffered a major blow when they were beaten at Holbrook Sports in midweek. The Poachers lost 3-2, despite Michael Reeve taking his season's tally to 21. The reverse leaves them eight points behind leaders Heanor Town with two games in hand, and seven adrift of Borrowash Victoria with just one game in hand. The race is hardly run for Oadby because they still have nine games to play, including a visit from...
