Premier Division teams aiming to avoid the drop into the First Division still have their fate in their own hands ... but time is running out.Last weekend’s results, which included losses for the bottom two teams, St George’s and Robin Hood, made the relegation situation all the more interesting as Wolves picked up three points against Flanagan’s to open an eight-point gap between themselves and St George’s in the second relegation spot. And Wolves, promoted last season, could move to virtual mid-table safety tonight night when they host Somerset Trojans at Devonshire Rec at 8pm.“It’s important for Wolves to take one game at a time and play every game like a final,” said Wolves captain Jared Peniston. “We are still in the FA Cup as well, so we will try do well in this cup.“In the end the goal of survival remains the number one target so we will look to get something out of every match, especially home fixtures that determine your fate in the top flight. We started out with our goal the beginning of the season being securing our premier division status. We just went in an immense slump that we needed to fix.”Another victory for Wolves tonight will lift them ahead of last season’s promotion partners Flanagan’s Onions, while a win for Somerset would move them up a couple pof places, level with second place PHC going into the weekend matches.Somerset are a team in mid-table safety, virtually out of the running for the league title and all but safe from relegation. So, too are Southampton Rangers who are level with them on 19 points, eight behind the leaders Devonshire Cougars and 12 clear of the relegation zone.The month of February will be fate month for the teams, with Hood and St George’s in desperate need of points with six matches remaining. They also need Wolves and Flanagan’s above them to drop points, otherwise the relegation matter could be settled with a few games still remaining. Robin Hood coach Kyle Lightbourne had set his team a target of five wins in the second half of the campaign, but with the gap widening, 15 points from a maximum 18 might still leave them just short.Hood face a tough final third of the league season, starting on tomorrow night with a home match against title-chasing PHC as Lightbourne and Antwan Russell face their former team. That will be followed by a match against Southampton Rangers before Hood close out the month with another home match against St George’s. Hood play five of their last six matches at home at BAA Field, but as Lightbourne noted it is a pitch that other teams relish playing on.St George’s have a slightly easier February, with matches against Rangers this weekend (and again next weekend in an FA Cup replay) before hosting Wolves and then travelling away to Robin Hood.The league race is also reaching an interesting finish with Cougars holding down a five-point lead over PHC and six on defending champions Dandy Town and North Village. Town dropped three crucial points last weekend against the Zebras to lose vital ground and failure to beat Cougars at home on Sunday in the top match would virtually eliminate them from the race, with nine points behind the leaders and with five games to play after this weekend.A Town win, on the other hand, will make things very interesting as it would cut Cougars’ lead and give one or two other teams renewed hope in the league race which could still come down to the last round of matches on March 24 when Cougars travel to Southampton Oval, PHC visiting Wellington Oval and Town host Wolves.Zebras appear to be Cougars’ biggest threat in what could soon become a two-team race, with Village probably not consistent enough to be serious contenders in the run-in. This weekend they host a Flanagan’s side that recently beat them in the Friendship Trophy and who will go into the match at Bernard Park knowing that another win or two will virtually make them safe in the top flight for another season.
