Leamington promoted as champions

Non League Football

Leamington will play in the Southern League Premier Division next season after clinching promotion in style with a thumping 8-0 win over Malvern Town.

The Brakes also sealed the Midlands Division title just two seasons after coming up from the Midland Alliance.

At one point, it seemed Leamington would struggle to make the finish line.

Top scorer Mark Bellingham admitted: "It's always horrible with that wobble and I personally started to think, we would only make the play offs".

Bellingham, who has so far scored 42 league goals, told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "We responded well after the Chasetown game, won all those games on the trot and we deserved it overall".

Leamington now travel to Leighton Town next Saturday knowing that another victory would take their points tally past the 100-point mark.
