Seven goals from Taylor led the way as Weir Athletic celebrated being crowned Division Two champions with a 15-4 away win over Rayleigh Olympiads in section B of the Spring Cup.

Athletic, who still have a game to play, won the Second Division title when First Manor failed to score enough goals in their final match, a 5-1 win over Hawthorns.

And they really went to town against Olympiads - who were relegated from Division One this season - with O'Mally also scoring a hat-trick.

It was also raining goals in the Ashingdon Trophy section B as D Jenkins scored five in Darby County's 11-1 win over Seasiders FC.

Not to be outdone, Robert-son grabbed a double hat-trick as Rayleigh Royals beat Lansdowne Rangers 11-4 in section C of the Spring Trophy.

Green also scored six as unbeaten Aspects Sports edged further towards the Premier Division championship with an 11-1 thrashing of lowly Lions FC.
