VICTORY in tomorrow's Division One showdown with Rudloe will put North Bradley Saints on the threshold of a historic treble.
A local derby double in four days over Trowbridge United with Scott Askew collecting four and Chris Fardell three in the 9-2 aggregate success Mark Edwards and Steve Bryant netting for Trowbridge has enhanced the chances of Saints completing a hat-trick of league titles.
By going one better than the October 0-0 thriller between the two sides, Saints will then require a point at Dynamo West End a week tomorrow to claim the biggest prize of all, even if reigning champions Broughton Gifford win their final three matches.
Relegated Heytesbury were beaten 2-1 by neighbours Warminster Town Reserves. Rowan King scored twice for Warminster, with Damien Gonzales replying.
Blue Circle are the first champions of the season. A superb Liam Williams' hat-trick had already guaranteed Steve Martin's impressive outfit an immediate return to the top flight in their 4-1 local derby win over Westbury when the cement men took the Division Two title with a 3-2 success against Castle Combe Reserves.
A Garic Hopkins' penalty erased Steve Mallett's opener for Combe who restored their advantage through Shaun House. Then two back post headers from corners by Richard Francom and a first goal of the season by Jamie Wheeler, enabled Circle to celebrate.
CS Filos and The Deverills will now decide who goes up with Circle. The sides meet tomorrow with victory for the Bath side sending them up in their first season in the league. A draw will leave the issue dangling on the final game for both sides, Filos at Hilperton and Deverills against Bratton.
A win for Seend United Reserves in their final game tomorrow will seal a highly successful campaign for last season's Third Division champions with manager and free-kick specialist Nigel Hall completing a 3-1 win over Bratton, who took the lead through Dave Jones before Lee Jackson and Mark James led the home recovery.
For the eighth time this season Steeple Ashton lost by the odd goal after four missed chances were finally punished by Robin Walker heading The Lamb Inn into an interval lead.
An individual effort by Ulian Serafimou and a second equaliser by Lee Hayward after Pat Godfrey restored Lamb's lead, gave Ashton hope, but strikes from Graham Townsend and Mark Williams increased Lamb's advantage before Marc Sheppard reduced a 4-2 deficit.
In Division Three Lavington demolished Bradford United Reserves 11-1, with 50-goal Myles Hickton adding to his tally with six more.
Rudloe, with a 4-0 mid-week success over Wanderers courtesy of goals from Dan Young, George Bentley, Luke Wolf and an own goal, remain a point behind the leaders, but have games in hand.
For both Bradford reserve sides there was a bag of mixed fortunes.
United 2-1 winners at The Stiffs - Nathan Litterick scoring for the basement side - bounced back from the Lavington massacre with Mark Hunt's winner against Apetito.
A 5-1 midweek win at FC Chippenham had maintained Town's promotion challenge but a shock 2-0 reverse at Frome Town Sports A all but ended Town's chances in only their second defeat in 19 matches.
The Stiffs look set to pick up the wooden spoon after conceding six for the second successive weekend.
Pete Stephenson's opener was met by a hat-trick from Andy Bull, two from Andy Churcher and a Dave Rumble effort as FC Chippenham recorded their first double.
