Windsor and Maidenhead Softball League July Review

With a 26-9 win over the Wildcats, the waiting game was finally over as Chalfont Phoenix were officially crowned Windsor and Maidenhead Softball League Division 1 champions. The game was Phoenix's 11th consecutive win in the league, making them truly worthy champions.

While the championship race may be over, there is still plenty to play for with the race for second place hotting up between Windsor Knights and BA Jets. Currently the only thing separating the two sides is the Knights' 17-2 win over the Jets on the opening day of the season. Even the second head to head between the two sides did nothing to separate them further as the game produced the only draw across the league all season.

Further down the table Richings Park Eagles and Maidenhead Royals are battling it out for fourth place, a battle made all the more exciting by the Royals' 10-9 win over the Eagles, a result that put them within one point of their rivals. At the bottom of the table, Chalfont Flames finally got off to winning ways with a 17-2 victory over Wildcats.

In Division 2, RG Blue Sox are being taken to the wire with Maidenhead Rebels the only other team in contention, six points behind with six to play for. With the Rebels playing the Blue Sox in the next game, all the latter need to do is turn up to be declared champions. While the title itself may be a foregone conclusion, the race for second place is getting very interesting with only four points separating Maidenhead in second place and Bracknell Scorchers in fifth place.

Both divisions have provided several exciting clashes this season with some close competition between teams all across the league. With two games remaining, there is still a lot more to come.
