Baildon Trinity 1, Rothwell Town 1;

In their final league game of the season, Baildon kept their supporters on a knife edge before securing the point needed to lift the West Yorkshire League Division One championship.

Rothwell led for most of the game, but a late, glorious goal ensured that manager Karl Zanft and his players completed a tremendous achievement in only their second season in the league.

Baildon started out with high hopes, watched by league officials who had brought the championship trophy to the ground ' just in case'. But after 15 minutes, the unthinkable happened when Rothwell went ahead.

A cross from the right was misjudged by Craig Edwards in the home goal and the Rothwell number 11 stole in at the far post to bundle the ball into the net despite the attention of three defenders.

It was a poor goal but it looked like being very costly. Rothwell were well organised in defence and Baildon found it hard to create clear-cut chances.

Chris Rossendale on the left looked the likeliest to open up the defence, but up front Darren Thornton and Mark Thompson were getting little change out of the Rothwell rearguard and the nearest they came to scoring was when Thompson met a cross from the left but failed to get any power in his shot.

Half-time came and went with the Baildon supporters getting more and more fidgety.

Baildon saw a shot came back off the inside of the post and then when they clipped the woodwork again there was a feeling that it was going to be 'one of those days'.

Right winger Paul Clarke had the beating of his full-back for pace and with just six minutes to go again got clear.

He got to the byline and sent in a low cross. As it fizzed across the edge of the penalty area it was met first-time by Thompson, whose beautifully controlled strike rocketed into the net.

The delighted Baildon team easily played out the final minutes to take the title on goal difference from Tadcaster Magnets.

The trophy was presented on the pitch to Baildon captain Mark Spillsbury by league secretary Kevin Parkinson.
