Wessex Premier League Champions !
Bemerton Heath Harlequins 1
AFC Stoneham 3
Scorers: Martins(2) Sampson
An incredible three days for our club was sealed tonight as we won the Wessex Premier League title for the first time in our history with six games remaining having reached Wembley on Saturday.
The league title was won with a 3-1 away win at Bemerton with a brace from Duarte Martins
and an excellent Tyrrell Sampson finish.
These three days have been the culmination of many years of hard work by numerous players, management and volunteers. We thank everyone of them from the bottom of our hearts tonight.
Over the last four seasons the players and management have shown great resilience having missed out on goal difference and the play offs twice over the last three seasons having amassed 91 points and 95 points twice.
We lost out on a penalty shoot out last season in the plays off, having finished second by 19 points, it would have been very easy for many to walk away. They didn't and stuck together determined to reach our goal of promotion
Every piece of credit they are receiving now is very well earned and the Wembley appearance is beyond our wildest dreams!
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us and been on the incredible journey that is AFC Stoneham
Tonight we got our reward!
