Basford United are the first ever winners of the Midland Football League Premier Division.
They took the title yesterday with a 5-2 win against Westfields.
Promotion to the Evo-Stik secures early the 5 year objective for Chairman Chris Munroe. “4 years ago to the day we were playing in the NSL on a park ground at Greenwich Avenue attracting 1 man and his dog. Yesterday was the culmination of 4 promotions in front of a record attendance and we now take our place in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League. This fills me with immense satisfaction and very grateful to the hard working structure and personnel who along with me have driven this club forward."
Basford United manager Martin Carruthers was very gracious in his words yesterday & paid tribute to his predecessors
Carruthers said: " I'd like to thank Daz Saunders and Andy Frawley who laid down the foundations that we have been able to build on to take the club to this level, also former players who have played a major part in building the success of our club."
