They defeated three teams placed well above them in the table, including promotion-placed Kent AC, and brushed aside the only one below them, Aylesbury.

Team manager Tony Deleiros, a former world veterans sprint champion departs to live in New Zealand this winter. He said: "The strongest team we were able to put together decided if we would go down to Division 3 for the first time in 15 seasons. They were even hotter on the day than the weather. When the chips were down they came up with the goods.

"I'd like to thank them and also all the people who have helped me when I have managed the A, B and Masters teams during the last 10 years."
