NORTHERN DIVISION

Allexton & New Parks went into their final game of the season, at home against Loughborough Dynamo, knowing that only a victory would see them clinch the title, and they did so by winning 6-1. Jack Allen gave Allexton the perfect start when he netted after only 90 seconds. Daniel Higgins soon added a second with Niall Burke adding a third and after 20 minutes, Brandon Jarrett added a fourth, with that being the half time score. Jack Allen bagged his second and the fifth a minute into the second half. Billy Snaith reduced the arrears when he capitalised on a rare defensive mix up, but Allexton weren’t finished as Jamie Richardson added a sixth. Congratulations go to Allexton on a well deserved title, and in doing so pushed Mansfield Town into the runners up spot. Ashby Ivanhoe earned their first point of the season as they held Gresley to a 3-3 draw, although at one point Ashby were 3-1 up. Connor Pepper, Masen Robinson and Finley Kemp for Ashby with Brennan Insley Walker, Jay Smith and Aaron Harvey for the young Moatmen.
