TROWBRIDGE LEAGUE: NORTH Bradley Saints were duly crowned the new Division One champions but former leaders Dynamo West End were in no mood to allow the script for an historic hat-trick of titles to go to plan.

Indeed Dynamo, with Simeon Mills' header on ten minutes, veteran Shane Thornton missing a chance two minutes later and the left leg of keeper Stuart Powell diverting another Mills' effort, Saints' party could have been well and truly dampened.

But after his side had been clearly second best in the first half, an inspired double half time substitution by manager Ben Howe put Saints on their way with strikers Carl Davies and Jack Heard scoring twice inside 12 minutes of the restart.

Yet Saints, with Leigh Trainer dismissed in stoppage time, still had to settle for the one point required to lift the trophy outright when Thornton struck a superb 63-minute free kick past Powell.

The presentations to Saints were made by Alan Thompson, the league registration secretary.

Broughton Gifford, tremendous champions for half of the last 20 years, finished runners-up for the sixth time in that spell as well. A double in eight days over relegated Heytesbury was crowned by keeper Kevin Challis despatching the fifth and final goal following a Chris Stiles' double and singles from Ashley Groves and Darren Whiting.

Division Two champions Blue Circle, who dropped only one home point all season, concluded their highly successful campaign with a repeat of their 3-2 victory over Castle Combe Reserves which sealed Steve Martin's outfit the title 14 days before.

Shaun Sheppard, Gary King and Kane Scott were on target for Circle with Gavin Ferris and Paul King replying for Combe. There was an end of season shock however for runners-up and divisional cup winners CS Filos who were hammered 6-2 at Hilperton United where John Harris delivered a second half treble.

Neil Hannaford, who had given Hilperton the lead, adding another along with Jerome Dyer.
