In the Orr Division, the Lakefield Chiefs have won 13 straight and look to clinch top spot. The Tod Division leading Napanee Raiders have also won 13 straight and the 4 playoff teams in the division are set with Gananoque and Campbellford missing the playoffs, despite Campbellford winning their first game of the year on the weekend.

In the Carruthers Division, the Stayner Siskins and Alliston Hornets will finish first and second respectively, but the battles for #3/#4 and #5/#6/7 will go down to the wire. The Mount Forest Patriots are close to clinching the Pollock Division and Walkerton will likely finish second, but the races for #3/#4/#5 and #6/#7 are extremely close.

In the Bloomfield Division, the battle for stop spot will come down the end of the season as the Glanbrook Rangers and Grimsby Peach Kings are now only separated by one point. Meanwhile, in the Doherty Division, the races are tight from top to bottom, including a battle between Ayr, Tavistock and Woodstock for the regular season Division title.

In the Stobbs Division, the battle for first will come down to the final week of the season as Dresden looks to hold off Essex, Lakeshore and Amherstburg for first, while the Mooretown Flags are also in the mix for second. The Lambeth Lancers continue to lead the Exeter Hawks and Dorchester Dolphins for top spot in the Yeck with just two weeks left, but the North Middlesex Stars are still rising and looking to catch Dorchester for third.
