W&B Crowned Isle Of Wight Saturday League Champions

W&B Captain, Josh Appell

Whitecroft and Barton (W&B) have been crowned champions of the Isle of Wight Saturday First Division.

Title rivals, Shanklin, could only manage a 1-1 draw at Bembridge last night (Tuesday), meaning the leaders could not be caught.

They are now seven points clear at the top, with Shanklin only having two league games left - bringing a thrilling title race to a close.

Teams were asked to play twice a week by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight FA to finish the season, after it was halted last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Boosted by the signing of several Wessex League players, W&B are now celebrating a sixth title in a row.

This weekend (Saturday), W&B host Sandown. 

Shanklin can still claim some silverware though when they take on Brading Town in Hampshire FA Trophy Final at Beatrice Avenue, East Cowes on Saturday, June 5.
