After the latest set of results, and nearly two-thirds of the regular season completed, the London Mets have a 5-game lead in the division over the Richmond\u00c2\u00a0Flames in the National League South. Meanwhile, the Croydon Pirates and Bracknell Blazers\u00c2\u00a0are in a\u00c2\u00a0battle to avoid a last-place finish. They\u00c2\u00a0are\u00c2\u00a0due to\u00c2\u00a0face each other in a double-header at Roundshaw Playing Fields this Sunday. After those two games, there is a 3-week break from league games in the south, which will provide a good point to reflect on the individual performances so far this season.<\/p>\n
While the two qualifying spots in the south would appear to already have been decided, the race in the National League North is still very much alive. The Manchester Eagles look good for\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0top spot, with a 9-2 record, but just half a game separates the second-place Liverpool Trojans and third-place Menwith Hill Patriots – and only one of those teams will qualify.<\/p>\n
The\u00c2\u00a0National Finals\u00c2\u00a0are\u00c2\u00a0scheduled for\u00c2\u00a06 and 7 September. The venue is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
