Spartan win Clarendon Major League |

|
Spartan emerged the 2011 Claro/Captain's Bakery Clarendon Major League champions after battling to a 0-0 draw with Gimme-me-bit in the final round of matches played at the Clarendon College. The two teams had been locked at the top on 37 points. However, with a better goal average having scored 22 and conceded 4, only a draw was necessary for Spartan to clinch the championship. The two met in the mid-season final, with Spartan winning 2-1. Spartan, who hail from the Chapelton area, have now earned automatic qualification to the South Central Super League. They have also replaced New Bowens who were relegated from that competition. It is amazing that league winners would be decided on the final day after Gimme-me-bit looked firmly on course, after holding a six-point lead on Spartan, three weeks ago. However, Spartan put together a string of three straight wins beginning with a 2-0 win over Free Town, then a 1-0 win over Original Hazard before easing ahead on goal difference with a 3-0 win over Milk River. Gimme-me-bit's chances were dealt a further blow when they were beaten 2-1 by Milk River 2-1. |
