First Ahoghill snap up another Churches League title

Needing just two-and-a-half points from their remaining three games to retain their crown, Ahoghill plundered 11 points from those fixtures, meaning they had a 10-point gap to spare over runners-up Buckna.

With the majority of clubs having now completed their 20-game schedule, most of the significant positions have been finalised, although Cloughwater can still nick third place if they take the maximum five points from their last remaining match.
