Locks Heath were last night crowned the Puma Engineering Hampshire Premier League Champions with a thumping 8-1 win over Liphook United.
George Mason, the Chairman of the Hampshire League, presented the trophy to Locks Heath captain Sean Stacey to spark jubilant celebrations on the pitch at the Recreation Ground.
Locks Heath needed two points from their final two games in order to secure the title – but were determined to make sure of the championship at the first hurdle.

Sam Gray pulled one back for the visitors with a superb volley, but there was no stopping Locks Heath who fired in four more through Snelling again, two from Ryan Lock and one from Jordan Neal.
Now Locks Heath must sit tight and wait to see if they will be approved by the Football Association for promotion into the Sydenhams Wessex League.
