Greenhill edged out the County Intermediate Cup winners 3-2 in the Cobbin Trophy final last Thursday, despite a double from leading scorer Linford Harris who ended the season with 35 goals.

Jacob McEnery got the Wymeswold consolation.

Shaun Wilkes’ side returned to the summit just days later as they ended their campaign with a 2-0 win at Measham Welfare on Tuesday.

Goals from Greg Fletcher and Alex Symon-Allen sent Wymeswold two points above Greenhill.

But Greenhill will take the title with victory in their final game on Saturday at eighth-placed Cossington Saints.
