HALL ROAD RANGERS FC 1 - 2 POCKLINGTON TOWN
After the drama of sealing their first ever League title the previous Saturday, it was a tough away game to end the season against Hall Road Rangers for the CHURCHILL TYRES Humber Premier League 1st team last weekend.
With Town missing some of their regular starters, a slow first half saw Hall Road take the lead into the break but after a real test from a team who were in with the chance of the title themselves until a few weeks ago, an improved second half fight back saw goals from Luke Cranswick and a Chris Dempsey screamer see the Champions to a 2-1 win.
After receiving the trophy from the Humber league Secretary, the lads enjoyed celebrating their win and can look back on a fantastic season where 13 wins and 2 draws from their last 15 league games saw them win the league by a clear margin and have the best defensive record across the league and the best goal difference. Management team Joe Cooney and Mark Watkinson deserve immense credit and respect for rebuilding the team and steering them through a successful season to this long sought after title for the club.
