Boss Steve Clegg was delighted with his side's efforts over the season.

He said: "I am chuffed to bits, although it is a bit of a shame to have clinched it in a one-sided game like that, although you have to give credit to Goal Sports who never gave up.

"Jamie Patterson was outstanding today and man of the match, you don't very often get five goals from central midfield.

"We have not won the title for nine years, and I think I became manager the year after we last won it and we lost a lot of players due to the formation of Scarborough Town so there was a lot of rebuilding to do over the years."

Clegg has been involved with Edgehill for 23 years as player then manager of the reserve team before stepping up to the firsts.

He added: "All the lads have been superb this season and with another cup final to come against Itis Itis hopefully we can do a double."
