A.F.C. Towcester came into this top of the table, knowing that winning their last two games would guarantee the title and they made light work of brushing aside 11th in the table Crick Athletic to easily take the three points. An angled shot into the bottom corner saw them open the scoring after just four minutes and we’d only just gone past the half hour mark when they made it 4-0 and it was job done as far as winning the game went. It took them twenty four minutes of the second half to get goal number five, touching in a cross from the right at the near post. Two more goals soon followed and in the final minute they headed in a corner at the far post to make it 8-0. They should now wrap up the league, as their final game is against bottom of the table Finedon Volta Reserves, who’ve already been relegated.

Home to A.F.C. Towcester is a pitch on the local recreation ground, just off the town centre. There is a small car park at the entrance and the changing rooms are hidden away behind the buildings on the right as you approach along Islington Road. Not surprisingly, everyone stayed out on the pitch for halftime and we were done and dusted for 20.07. At least the prompt finish meant dodging the roadworks for the homeward journey.
