Leicesterfield (9th, 24 points) holds a narrow 2-point advantage over Gomora United FC (11th, 22 points) after 19 matches. Both teams occupy mid-table positions, sitting 12 points behind league leaders Milford FC and comfortably above the relegation zone, with bottom-placed Black Leopards on 12 points.
