Holywell Town secured the JD Cymru North title with a 4-0 victory over Llanidloes Town at the Achieve More Stadium on Wednesday night.
Johnny Haseldin’s side went into the game knowing that just a point would secure the trophy and they swept aside their already-relegated opponents.
Myles Hart picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season as he headed home from Beau Cornish’s cross to open the scoring in the 35th minute.
Jake Cooke’s header – his 17th league goal of the campaign – doubled the advantage just before half-time, while Jamie Breese continued his fine scoring form with a headed goal of his own shortly before the hour mark.
The fourth goal came courtesy of substitute Julian Williams in stoppage time, before the trophy was lifted at the final whistle as the Wellmen celebrated a superb campaign.
“The club means a lot to me,” Haseldin said. “I played here, I’ve managed here a long time and it has always been the ambition to try to win the Cymru North. People laughed at us, knocked us, but we stayed focused. A happy camp, a happy squad is a dangerous team and I think we’ve got what we deserve in the end.
“The ambition of myself and and the club is to get into the Cymru Premier. We probably need a little bit more back from somewhere. If there’s anyone out there who is interested in getting behind a community club, then Holywell is certainly a club on the up!”
