After a cooling drink in the bar, those of us who remained gathered in the bar to watch Knowles vs BBQ.

We had taken the opportunity to remind BBQ that they could still get promoted as they went in.

Both sides tested each other out but the quality was missing as they both tried to assert their authority.

Knowles took the lead...1-0....groans in the gallery. Next week could be the decider.

However BBQ were not going down without a fight....1-1...Cheers in the gallery.

The feud continued with some meaty tackling. BBQ were dominating now....2-1. Cue banging windows from the grateful Shambles.

Life was good for the Shambles but lady luck then dropkicked their hopes in the balls.....2-2. Our hands became superglued to our heads.

Noooo....not a final week decider.

Cometh the hour cometh the BBQ bouncing off the ropes...3-2....Yes....3-2....Championship glory was being waved in our face like a lap dancers body...We could look but we could not dare to touch.

A bit of petrulant sour grapes kicked in from Knowles as the dream evaporated. Darth Dave raised the whistle to his lips.....FULL TIME.....3-2 to the BBQ.

We all banged the windows in support of BBQ.....Yes Shambles watchers...The foundations of local football have been shaken. The Shambles...the occasional irritant in to those contesting titles have won DIVISION 2.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS !!

Well done to everyone who has donned the colours this season. You should all be there when we get the cup. Yes, that's the CUP.

Thank you Shambles fans....if there are any. Come along and witness the culmination of years of trying.
