Blackfield and Langley secure league title

Division One South Champions

<2>BLACKFIELD and Langley FC were crowned back to back league champions following an emphatic 4-0 win over promotion-chasing Evesham United.

A dominant three-goal first-half performance capped off a fantastic Blackfield season which books their place in the Evo-Stik Premier League South.

Blackfield will move into the Evo-Stik Premier League South subject to ground improvement approval.

Manager Glenn Howes stated that his players were focused on promotion after hearing of the club’s commitment to ground upgrade.

He said: “When the players saw the ground improvements, they were ready to take on the challenge and move up in the Southern League.”

Watersiders chairperson Claire Sinclair was stunned at her side’s achievements this season.

“At the start of the season, I would have been happy to remain in the league or attain a mid-table finish but to win it is a fairytale.”
