Ex County boy a hero

Remember Spencer Weir-Daley? To be honest it wouldn't be a surprise if you dont, his time at Notts during the Steve Thompson/Charlie Mac days wasn't exactly memorable.

These days he's playing for Corby Town, and he'll probably never have to buy a drink in the town again after he scored twice on Saturday including the winner in their title showdown with Poole to cinch promotion to the conference north/south.

Sadly Weymouth's title challenge collapsed long ago - and it came down to 90 minutes between Poole Town and Corby Town on Saturday. Both sides went into the game on 91 points, and Corby needed to win the game to win the title due to Poole's superior GD.

It was a tight & nervy first half, but Weir-Daley opened the scoring less than a minute into the second half. And two minutes later the steelmen were in dreamland when top scorer Greg Mills converted a penalty to double the lead.

But back came Poole - Luke Roberts netted a brace to haul Poole level and leave it in their hands.

But ten minutes from time Weir-Daley was there again to poke home from close range to seal the title for Corby - to the delight of most of the southern premier league, including Weymouth! (Poole are not exactly popular...)

Congrats to him and his team mates, and indeed the whole club. To achieve what they have with such a small squad and far from the biggest budget in the division is quite remarkable.

I liked Weir-Daley, though he's one of those players who could do well in one game and go missing in many of the others.

I still thought he was at Boston? I think that's where I last known him to be. Good to hear he's doing well, even in the division he's playing - there's nothing at all wrong with that.

Nice play for the first goal!

His 2nd the right place at just the right time.
