OW's 1st XI clinch promotion.
Despite the fact that no play was possible in this game (14th August), the 8 points they gained from this fixture was enough to see League Leaders Old Wilsonians promoted to Division Three as Rainham's game at Rodmersham was also a victim of the wet weather.
The OW's now need 38 points from their last three games to be crowned Champions of Division Four.
