With just two games remaining, the Yellows are eight points clear of second-placed Cardinals who edged Bluebirds 1-0.

Despite Canaries and Swifts' contrasting positions in the table, the match was hard-fought with the first half remaining scoreless until just before the interval when Emma Garon picked up a rebound from the top left edge of the circle and fired inside the right hand post.

Sandra McDougall then cemented Canaries' win in the second half, shooting home from an angle following a short corner.

In the B Division, Swallows were knocked off the top for the first time this season as they were upset 1-0 by Orioles, allowing Bluebirds, 2-1 winners over Cardinals, to vault into first place.

Liz Adderley scored the Orioles goal which resulted in Swallows' third defeat of the season.

Bluebirds made the most of that loss, although they had to fight back with two goals in the second half after Cardinals' Emma Holmes netted from a short corner before the break. In the other B game, Canaries and Swifts drew 0-0.
