PAGET GRAB LA LIGA CROWN!

By Joe Perkins

P's shine in the sun and ease to title.

Paget are La Liga champions having won their final game of the season on a gloriously sunny spring afternoon on Tuesday.

Travelling across to the always resplendent Mapledene Arena, The P's knew that any sort of win would clinch the title and deny Short Heath a second consecutive La Liga crown.

A steely Paget arrived determined not to waste such an opportunity and faced a Mapledene side for whom play-off hopes had been dashed by Rosary earlier this month. Despite a cagey opening, the P's eventually sauntered their way to a 4-1 victory and the three points required.

In another brilliant La Liga title race, Paget take win the day courtesy of a 20 goal better difference than their erstwhile foes, Short Heath thus reversing the La Liga placings from a year ago.

Paget and Premier champs, Abbey, have now sealed their places at Castle Vale Stadium for the season-defining play-offs finals on 21st May but Short Heath will have to defeat Timberley next week if they are join in that jamboree.

Where next?

HEATH GIRLS DELIVER SHIELD! Unbeaten Short Heath seal crown; Rosary pip Abbey to second place.
