Championship Table Analysis:
-
Bentekerz (1st, 25 Points):
- With 8 wins out of 10 games and only one loss, Bentekerz has a strong lead at the top. They’ve scored 63 goals but have a tighter goal difference (+18) compared to their close competitors, which suggests their wins have been closely contested.
-
Title Contenders: With just a few games remaining, they are in the best position, but any slip-up could let Darnley overtake them.
-
Darnley (2nd, 24 Points):
- Sitting just one point behind Bentekerz with a game in hand and the best goal difference in the top 3 (+28), Darnley is a strong challenger for the title. They have the most potent attack, scoring 67 goals in just 9 games.
-
Title Race: With the extra game, Darnley is in a prime spot to challenge Bentekerz, and their form is critical in the next few matches.
-
KP Derry (3rd, 22 Points):
- KP Derry is not far behind with 22 points from 10 games and a strong attack of 75 goals scored in the league. Their goal difference (+30) is the best among the top three.
-
Dark Horse: They need Bentekerz or Darnley to slip up but are very much in the race for the title.
-
Phir Hera Pheri (4th, 19 Points):
- Phir Hera Pheri still has a chance to challenge for the top spots, but with two losses already and 9 games played, they’ll need to maintain strong form to push into the top 3.

-
Real Warrior (5th, 19 Points):
- Despite their fifth place, Real Warrior has scored an impressive 87 goals, the highest in the league but conceded 66, showing a vulnerability in defense. They’ve played the most games (11), so while they can climb higher, their title hopes are limited.

-
Westend Legends (6th, 18 Points):
- They’re competitive but likely too far off the title race with three losses and 11 games played. Their strong form in the middle of the table suggests a good finish but not a title challenge.
Race for the Title: Bentekerz, Darnley, and KP Derry are in a three-way battle, with Darnley having an extra game that could be crucial. Phir Hera Pheri could still surprise, but their chances are slimmer.
Over 35's Table Analysis:
-
Southsiders (1st, 23 Points):
- With 11 games played, Southsiders hold the lead by two points but have played more matches than their nearest challengers. They have a strong attack (95 goals) but a shaky defense (69 goals conceded).
-
Under Pressure: Their lead is vulnerable given Le Dream Team’s form and games in hand.
-
Le Dream Team (2nd, 21 Points):
- Undefeated and having played only 7 games, Le Dream Team is in an excellent position to take the top spot. Their +32 goal difference highlights their dominance, and if they win their games in hand, they will surpass Southsiders comfortably.
-
Title Favorites: Given their current form and fewer games played, Le Dream Team is in pole position.
-
Old Shieldz (3rd, 19 Points):
- Old Shieldz’s explosive attack (116 goals in 9 games) makes them a formidable team. They are close behind with two games in hand, and their goal difference (+49) is the highest in the division.
-
Potential Challengers: If they can continue their attacking form, they could challenge Le Dream Team and Southsiders.
-
Elite FC (4th, 15 Points):
- With a .500 record and 85 goals scored, Elite FC is not quite in the title race but is still competitive in the middle of the pack.
Race for the Title: Le Dream Team is the team to beat with games in hand, but Old Shieldz is a dangerous contender with their prolific scoring ability. Southsiders need to hold off both teams in the remaining fixtures.
Premier League Table Analysis:
-
The Beechwood (1st, 27 Points):
- With only one loss and a solid goal difference (+44), The Beechwood looks set to continue their dominant form. They have the most wins (9 out of 10) and are favorites to win the title.

Serious Contender: Cumnock Boys can challenge for the title if they maintain their perfect record.
-
Braygos (3rd, 21 Points):

-
MYF and GTI (4th and 5th, 15 Points):
- Both teams are solid but far from title contention. Their goal differences suggest they’ve been inconsistent throughout the season.

Overall Analysis:
- Championship: Bentekerz, Darnley, and KP Derry are the title favorites, with Darnley potentially having the edge due to their extra game.
- Over 35s: Le Dream Team and Old Shieldz look poised to challenge Southsiders, with Le Dream Team having a clear advantage based on games in hand.
- Premier League: The Beechwood is in the driver’s seat, but Cumnock Boys are a serious threat if they win their remaining games.
Key upcoming matches will likely decide the fate of the title in all leagues.
