SHORE Villa clinched the Houlihan's Birkenhead Sunday League Division One title with two games to spare and they did it in the style they have shown all season.

Goals from Adam Lea, Jon Clampitt, Gary Richards and a penalty from young Tom Charters, giving them a 4-0 victory over Lions FC.

Having joined the League only three seasons ago, the club have now gained successive promotions taking them to the Premier Division and great credit goes to all those behind the scenes and the management team of Dave Mustoe and Neil Steadman.

Argyll FC will finish runners-up despite slipping up 3-2 against Lancelyn Glenavon (Steve Evans 2, Niall Macklin).

The Premier Division is still wide open, with two of the leading contenders slipping to 2-0 defeats.

Leaders Queens Park went down to two goals from Brow FC's John Paul Cassidy and Woodchurch AFC fell to Rock Ferry Social (Michael Phillips, Stuart Graves).

Division Two leaders Prenton Dell (Nicky Dures, Ste Mills) shared four goals with Comecon (James Knox, Tom Mairs) and FC Ridger (Phil Smith 2, Ben Wright, Dan Morris) helped their relegation battle, winning 4-2 at Shaftesbury Youth B (Tommy Wright, Craig Holman).

Bushells Athletic (Daniel Wood, Steve Davies) beat Lions Athletic 2-0 and two Steve Kendrick efforts, including a 35-yard screamer, were enough to give AFC Houlihans a narrow win over Rangers Breaks (Greg Beardsley).

In Division Three it was birthday boy Aaron Dillon who scored the only goal of the game for Birkenhead Youth B against Millcroft.

Neston Athletic (Ben Pearson, Alex Fewtrell) stayed in the title race with a 2-0 victory at Blue Anchor.

Two Tony Taylor goals put Bidston Hotel through to the final of the Veronica Conway Cup, at the expense of Dock FC.

Joining them will be Stirrup Sports & Social; two goals from Paul Devey and a decisive penalty in the last five minutes from Chris Griffiths, giving them a 3-2 result over Parkside (Dave Bowe 2).

An Ally Major hat-trick put Wellington through to the final of the Presidents Cup, beating Shaftesbury Youth A (Jamie Smith) 3-1.

The Stephen Dean Bowl produced two great semi-finals; Vauxhall Colts (Kyle Smyth 2, Ryan Lawson) edged out Vauxhall Youth (James Bradley, Nick Parsonage) 3-2, with Smyth lobbing over the advancing keeper in the 85th minute to seal the win.

In the other tie, Eastham Rangers (Liam Walsh, John Skipsey) were 2-1 up against Ashville Panthers (Tom Anglesey) going into the final two minutes of the game; however, goals from Leon Jones and a Dave McNeilis winner put the Panthers through to the Final.

In the Trafalgar Shield second round, Newton Athletic ran out 2-0 winners over Oxton Athletic Youth.
