On Saturday afternoon, Gilport Lions beat Modipane United by a solitary goal in Modipane in what was contrasting fortunes for the two sides, as the former gained automatic promotion back to Premier League after just one season in the dusty First Division grounds while the latter got relegated to Division One.

Both teams failed to create any clear-cut chances in the first 30 minutes of the game.
