Sam's strike clinches league triumph for Oldland Abbotonians
Oldland Abbotonians clinched the Bristol Division I championship with one match remaining after gaining the point they needed during a double encounter with Made For Ever.
Imperial Saints made sure of top spot in Bristol Division A following their 3-0 win over Ashton Boys, while Stoke Lane, who thrashed Frampton Rangers 10-1, secured runners-up position.
Almondsbury were the runaway winners of the newly-formed Gloucestershire Division, but second spot is still being contested by Forest Green Rovers and Charfield.
Oldland confirmed their status as Division I champions by holding Made For Ever to a 1-1 draw before beating them 3-0 in the second match of a double fixture.
Oldland trailed to a great 30-yard goal in the first game and it stayed like that until 10 minutes from time when Sam Lee equalised with the goal that clinched the title.
Oldland started the second game at a much faster pace and scored three quick goals in the first period through Dan Leat, Felix Hauge and Joe Chandler to wrap up the points.
Imperial Saints made no mistake in clinching the Division A title as they crushed Ashton Boys. Mitch Purnell netted twice and was joined on the scoresheet by Dan Caswell, Sam Downes and substitute Kartel Blair.
Danny McCarthy and Joe Sheppard turned in splendid performances for Saints while Mike Rimmer, Jack Luton and Marcus Morgan had a hand in the goals.
Second-placed Stoke Lane completed their campaign in style with a 10-1 mauling of Frampton Rangers.
They roared into a 5-0 lead inside the opening 30 minutes thanks to two goals each by David Brown and Tom Murray, plus a strike by skipper Josh Martin.
Frampton created occasional chances and pulled one back with a well-taken goal early in the second half.
With Brown off injured, Stoke Lane super-sub Simeon Adewale came on and deserved his goal after causing havoc in the Frampton defence.
Murray, meanwhile, continued to find the net at regular intervals, grabbing three more goals to take his tally for the game to five before another substitute, Sebastian Hull, netted in the dying minutes.
