County have a chance to extend their lead at the top of the division next Saturday when they travel to Mortimer in a league fixture. Westwood Wanderers are in cup action at Finchampstead on the same afternoon.
Berks County have eight fixtures remaining, while Westwood Wanderers have seven. The Swords still need to travel to face Westwood before the season is over, so the title is still very much up for grabs as we enter March.
