Eaton Socon Reserves are celebrating Cambridgeshire County League title success – after fearing they had missed out.

The local side were beaten at Bar Hill Reserves in their final fixture of the Division 1B season back in May when needing a victory to clinch the crown.

But it has since emerged the home side played more than the permitted number of first-team players with the Socon second string awarded a walkover which earned them top spot.

It means manager Craig Smith claimed glory in his first season at the helm with the prolific form of Alan Moore - who struck 20 goals in as many games - proving to be hugely valuable.

Eaton Socon Reserves now climb into the Kershaw Senior B Division for next season - a division won by AFC Barley Mow last term.

The Mow men's rapid rise has carried them into Kershaw Senior A Division for 2019/20 with fellow locals Bluntisham Rangers and Needingworth United also promoted last season.

Huntingdon United (under the new management of Tom Moran), Somersham Town and St Neots Town Reserves (who were relegated from the Kershaw Premier Division) also compete at that level.

There are four teams from this area in the top-flight next term - with one of them boasting a new name.

Eynesbury Rovers Reserves have now become a stand-alone club Eynesbury United - still playing at Hall Road - and will again do battle with Eaton Socon, Brampton and Hemingfords United.

The full Cambridgeshire County League constitution for the 2019/20 has been confirmed.
