New Ferry Wirral Hotel clinched a narrow 3-2 win at home to Parkfield BA.

Craig Jackson and Graham Harries replied for Parkfield. Universal Windows had James Davies and Shaw Kent grabbing two, only to see their side go down 4-3 against New Brighton, with Steven Griffiths and Stewart Basnett grabbing a double each.

In Division Two for Unitor, Adam Maizer netted a hat-trick with one each from Vinny O`Toole, Lima Casey and Vince Crew.

Unitor had already claimed the Division Two title before the 6-3 win, Peter Stuart netting one and Steven Lowry two for Fender, who only needed one point for promotion will have to try again next season.

This result allowed Gagshill promotion to Division One. The only other game in Division Two saw Wirral Wanderers overcome Bebington Rovers 2-0 with goals from Danny Irwin and Garry Phillips.
