Congratulations, the Brakes are off!

Congratulations to 2017 EVO-STIK League Southern Premier Division promotion play-off winners Leamington!

After missing out on the title, Paul Holleran's runners-up needed extra-time to beat Hitchin Town 2-1 in Bank Holiday Monday's EVO-STIK League Southern Premier Division play-off final and win promotion alongside top flight champions Chippenham Town.

In a thriller in front of more than 2,000 spectators at the Phillips 66 Community Stadium, Robert Thompson Brown snatched a last minute equaliser for the Brakes from the penalty spot to level Matthew Lench's 11th minute goal for the Canaries before Courtney Baker-Richardson celebrated bagging the winner, pictured, with time running out in the second period of extra-time!
