BIRSTALL UNITED FC finished the season as runners-up, securing second place in the league after a convincing 5-1-win against ‘Holwell Sports’ at a packed Meadow Lane.

Club spokesman Paul Blake-Smith said: “This means we now have two playoff games to try and secure promotion, and both will be at Meadow Lane, the first on Saturday April 22 at 3pm.

100 club members and sponsors to thank them for their continued support. We will also be hoping to fill the few remaining places for the 100 club next season with membership now open for the new season.”
