Marlborough United sit at the summit. They have 75 points from 38 matches. It is a comfortable lead. Wellsford Athletic follow in second with 66 points. Mancunia FC and Stepney FC both trail on 63. The gap is nine points.

The case for this being a procession is simple. The Crowns have forgotten how to lose. They have taken ten points from their last five outings. They beat Edgbaston FC 2-0 at home on Matchday 38. They survived a trip to Brixton AFC on Matchday 37 with a 2-1 win. Even a scoreless draw at Wessex United on Matchday 35 felt like a strategic victory. The mood is one of quiet inevitability. One supporter was seen polishing a commemorative tea towel in the stands.

The case against is the ghost of the draw. Fifteen stalemates are a lot of missed opportunities. A team that cannot find a way through sometimes finds a way to trip. Wellsford Athletic are still breathing. A sudden collapse is a rare thing, but the history of the game is built on them.

It is settled. Sources confirm the mood in the camp is confident. The title is theirs to lose. All eyes are on the next matchday.
