Last gasp scrap for Sandiacre and Ockbrook

The final weekend of the Beechwood Motor Group Derbyshire Premier League looks set to be a tense 'seat of your pants' affair after both Ockbrook and Sandiacre took maximum points in the last round to keep the title race alive to very end.

At the bottom, Aston are all but down but Quarndon grabbed a draw at Alfreton to put Rolls Royce, who lost at Ilkeston back into the drop zone; it looks like one of those two for the second relegation place now.

Aston were left without a point away at Chesterfield. The visitors made 94 before being bowled out in 27.5 overs. Abdul Rehman hit 30; however the Chesterfield bowling looked strong with Luke Thomas taking 3-22 and Ross Whitley finishing with 3-44.
