KNOWLE clinched the Midland Football League Division One title after a late blitz sealed a 3-1 victory at Ingles in midweek.

The Robins needed a point to guarantee the title and promotion at Homestead Road.

However, after a goalless first period, Charlie Yates put the home side ahead five minutes into the second half.

Knowle eventually equalised nine minutes from time through Talib Copeland before the same player completed the turnaround five minutes later.

And substitute George Seeley sealed the points and the title deep into injury time with the Robins now confirmed as champions.

The win moves Knowle onto 103 points with one game left to play with the Robins six points ahead of closest challengers Gornal Athletic.




Knowle finish their league campaign with a home game against Saffron Dynamo on Saturday, April 18 with kick-off at 3pm at the Draintech Community Ground.

The Robins will lift the MFL Division One trophy following the conclusion of the game.
