Belgraves 1, North 4
MICK LE PREVOST will not stop smiling all week.

The way his side went about their business on Saturday understandably made the North coach a very proud man and it took all his willpower to stand still for the post-match media interviews.

He was then off to Northfield, presumably for a well-earned drink, which he needed in order to calm down.

For the neutral, this was the ideal result because it sets up such a cracking finale to the league.

The fact that North won so convincingly, however, was not in the script. Even Le Prevost himself admitted that he had not expected to win so easily.

They scored four, could have had more and goalkeeper Steve Gibson had no need for a shower afterwards because he had not had a save to make.
