Denton Town Football Club were denied the chance of winning the Cheshire League 1 title at the weekend.

On the final day of the season and for a chance to win the title, Denton faced Parklands needing a victory and for results elsewhere to go their way. However, they were beaten 2-1 at Whittles Park, although it mattered little as Knowsley South beat Cheadle Heath Nomads 2-0 to secure the  championship. On a day to forget for Phill Cooper and Daz Green's side, Jordan Bove was sent off for the hosts whilst Jack Nolan was dismissed for the visitors. 

Of their 22 games this season, Denton won 14, drew two and lost six, scoring 53 and conceding 23 in the process.

Cooper tweeted the following message after Saturday's defeat:

    A few weeks ago on these pages, after Latics had lost three games in a row, conceding three goals in each game, I wrote them off for the season. Consolidation achieved, but with an unfulfilled objective to entertain and compete. Latics have won four games and drawn two, including last week’s stand-off against leaders Bromley at Hayes Lane, and the season is back in the balance. Tranmere Rovers were there to be hammered at Prenton Park, and Latics obliged. Tequila!
