Party starting early for champions!

EVO-STIK League South champions Basford United are having a party on Saturday - win, lose or draw!

Runaway leaders for many months, Martin Curruthers and his newly crowned champions will collect their medals and silverware in front of their cheering fans after hosting play-off chasing Lincoln United at Greenwich Avenue.

After finally clinching the title on Thursday night with a 5-0 win at Market Drayton Town, the Nottinghamshire club's players and management will be presented with the championship trophy by Northern Premier League secretary Angie Firth and referees' liaison officer John Jones.

Fans at the club's final home game of season - who are also being asked to vote for their player of the season during the celebrations - were thanked for their support throughout the promotion-winning campaign before kick-off.

The Whites are pictured forming a guard of honour for United's players before kick-off and a spokesman for the champions said: "As always, we have been very grateful to the growing support over the course of this season and we hope everybody can share a special day. You have all played such a massive part and earned it for your brilliant support over the season."
