What a performance from the YK this week as they put in an unreal performance putting Oh East London to the sword giving them their worst ever loss as YK were dominant in an 11-0 win for Jamie PARMANs side

Tom McDONNELL & Tommie HOBAN pulling strings from midfield as HOBAN got a brace and one of the MOTM McDONNELL smashed home 4!!

Up top and Joffe BRADLEY was different class as he also banged in 4 with some great finishes to be the other MOTM for the YK!

In the Championship and another extremely close season which came down to the last week!
PasseyAggressive just needed to win to wrap up their the title and promotion, which they did with a strong performance in a 4-1 win!

This result meant Hot Steppers couldn’t take the title, however they needed to win to get promoted to the Premiership in their first season!

Congratulations again to PASSEYAGGRESSIVE & HOT STEPPERS

WAS Utd in their first season gave a good account of themselves as well after a tough start they started to pick up some form and good results, no doubt Zak IKRAM’s side will be contenders in the new season!
However it wont be easy as OTF are another strong side who were in the mix while Woodford Greeners are another Championship side who are tough opponents in the forthcoming new season!
While new boys East London FC will be joining the mix as well! Looking forward to another competitive season at Eton Manor.
