Less than 24 hours later Rovers worked hard again for a 2-1 home success against Fishburn Park.

Jordan Lee, who is usually the keeper for the champs, scored the opener for the home side with a 40-yard free-kick and doubled the lead from the penalty spot when he was fouled after the break.

Josh Welburn, the stand-in Rovers keeper, saved a penalty in the first half, but could not stop Park pulling a goal back in the 70th minute through a Billy Arnold tap-in after fine work from Andrew Young on the wing..

Welburn was named as man of the match by Barker, who was delighted with his side's success in the title race.

He said: "I am chuffed to bits with getting the title, and we are looking forward to life in the top flight now.

"The next target is the League Trophy on Thursday night, we were trying to keep free of injuries for that game over the weekend.

"Next season I hope that we can push our way into the top four in Division One, I think the top two of Pier and Edgehill are well clear but we can push our way in among the others."

Commercial claimed victories in both matches of their double-header against Cayton Corinthians.
