Part four of our County Leagues mid-season round-up sees North Riding leaders Wigginton Grasshoppers being chased by Evolution Ladies, while Pickering Town are on 11 straight wins, Nottinghamshire’s Bingham Town have 10.
NORFOLK LEAGUE – Lowestoft on a High
Division 1: Lowestoft Town start the new year with a five-point advantage over Mulbarton Wanderers Reserves thanks to their perfect form so far. Costessey Sports and Aylsham can each eat into that lead with their games in hand.
Division 2: Beccles Town are the team to beat, having won all their matches, while nearest rivals Martham and Shrublands have both played more games.
Division 3: The 13-team table is led by Waveney, but second-placed North Walsham Town can get within a point of them by winning their games in hand, and Dereham Town would overtake them if they win the five matches they have to make up.
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE LEAGUE – Title Rivals Remain Unbeaten
Premier Division: Bugbrooke St. Michael are three points ahead of Higham Town with a game in hand, as both teams remain unbeaten. Corby Town and Harpole could mount challenges, but each has suffered two losses.
Division 1: Heyford Athletic have won seven of their eight fixtures to lead ahead of Kingsthorpe Jets, who have dropped just two points. Harpole Reserves sit third but are struggling to stay in touch with the top two.
NORTH RIDING LEAGUE – Grasshoppers on the Run from Evolution
Premier Division: While Wigginton Grasshoppers hold a five-point advantage at the top, it’s from more matches than Evolution Ladies, who could overtake them, and Guisborough Town, who could halve the gap.
Division 1: Pickering Town have maintained a perfect record from 11 games, leading by as many points over T.I.B.S, who have just a single match to catch up. Catterick Village Roses have games in hand to get closer, but Marske United seem to have the best chance of challenging the leaders.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE LEAGUE – Bingham Town Win 10 on the Trot
Division 1: Hucknall Town have yet to drop a point and have games in hand on most other sides, with Keyworth United in second and others all likewise battling to keep in touch with the leaders.
Division 2: Eastwood & Kimberley’s perfect record keeps them top on goal difference ahead of Shirebrook Rangers, who have played one more game. Sherwood Colliery and Gedling Southbank can both close in on the leaders just as much as the second-placed side.

Division 1: A very tight title race sees the top five separated by just a single point. Staveley Miners Welfare and Barnsley Women Reserves have played two games fewer than Frickley Athletic. YP Academy, and Stocksbridge Park Steels, are a point behind, but the former boast a 100% record.
Division 2: One point separates the top three, with Brinsworth Whitehill having played more matches than the chasing pack, including Barnsley FC Ladies, Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves, SJR Worksop Development, and Sheffield Wednesday Reserves.

SOMERSET LEAGUE – Portishead in Pole Position
Division 1: Portishead Reserves top the table ahead of Wellington Wildcats, Pen Mill, and Bath City Development, while fifth-placed Banwell might be in the best position to challenge them.
Division 2: Odd Down are three points ahead of Ashton, with Street, Portishead ‘A’, and Ilminster Town needing to make the most of games in hand to stay in the race.
Division 3 North: Burnham United lead a two-horse race by two points over Clevedon Town, who have played one fewer fixture.
