Radford Albion ended their campaign with a flourish, thrashing Priors Marston 5-1 with goals from Daniel Riley (2), Paul Murray (2) and James Marshall.

In Division Five, Tiltyard boosted their goal difference with a 10-0 defeat of Kineton S&SC and now need just three points from their final two fixtures to guarantee the title.
