South Lismore have surged up the Newton Denny Chapelle Championship ladder on the back of some recent good form moving into second place behind comfortable leaders Alstonville.

Last weeks 5 - 1 demolition of Uki helped the Celtics move ahead of close rivals Casino and Woodburn on goal difference and get them back in the frame for a top five finish.

Granted all three of the top four teams have a game in hand on Souths but this season is already proving that 3 points in the bag is a big advantage. Woodburn and Uki are testament to that with the Wolves struggling to draw with third from bottom Seawolves and Uki going down to a previously winless Banora Point.

Alstonville lead the Championship with 21 points eight clear of souths with a game in hand and at this stage are the beneficiaries of the inconsistent form of the remaining teams.

Round 9 fixtures throw up some mouthwatering fixtures with League leaders Alstonville up against Casino at Colley Park, Uki taking on Seawolves in a local tweed derby, Burringbar host South Lismore and Banora Point host Woodburn Wolves in what could be a tense affair.
