Now that we are close to the
end of the season, it is worth taking a look at who might be promoted from the
lower divisions next season. As some of you many know, the second division B
(to me and you the third division) is regionalized, and the top four of each of
the four 20-team groups go into a cross-divisional play off in the form of four
mini-leagues, the winners of each mini-league qualifying for promotion. For
anyone who got lost on the way, that means four go up to 2A, and four go down.
With two games to go, the top teams of each group are as follows (teams with a
good chance of promotion only):
