Goodwick United were crowned Champions of Division One following a 3-1 away victory over Monkton Swifts.

Last season's league runners-up knew that a victory would see them lift the trophy, after last weekend's late victory over title rivals Hakin United.

Jake Smith put Goodwick ahead after being set up by Dan James.

Captain Ben Steel equalised for the Swifts with an assist from Dylan Davies.

Will Haworth put Goodwick back in front just before half-time thanks to an assist from James Bryan.

Ben Steele had a chance to equalise in the 56th minute when he stepped up to take a penalty, but was denied by a strong save from Goodwick's Kyle Marsh.

The game stayed at 2-1 until the 85th minute when Rhys Jones stepped up to score a superb free-kick from outside the box to make it three, sealing the victory in style.
