Manorcroft United finished their debut campaign as champions and with a 100% league record after a 5-2 win over Hersham.

Sunday’s victory saw the Egham Wick-based side finish as South East Counties League Surrey Division 1 North champions by a margin of 11 points, ahead of second-placed Molesey Athletic.

Lillie Palmer scored twice in the win over Hersham, Edith Schofield also bagging a brace and fellow substitute Tallulah Smither netting the other goal.

They did bow out of the Surrey Divisional Cup in the second round though, despite having been 2-1 up at half time away to Oxted & District.
