Airbus Broughton have won the Huws Gray Alliance championship and are heading back to the Welsh Premier League.

It has been a magnificent season for Airbus and their 4-0 home win against Holywell Town ensured they will be back in the top flight next season.

Asa Hamilton, who came through the Airbus youth development system and has also played for Penycae, Porthmadog, Rhayader Town, Buckley Town and Guilsfield, said: “What a bunch of boys.

“Every one of us are best pals and stick together with everything and that’s what makes winning the league with theses boys so special. 

Champagne delight. Airbus Broughton celebrate their title and promotion.

“Thanks to all the airbus fans who have been there to support us all season. You helped us win it.”

An official club tweet read: “We did it!!! CHAMPIONS! .. back in the @wpl_official next season. Well done to the players, staff and thank you for your support.” 

Airbus have earned their place in the JD Sports welsh Premier, although officially they must wait to see if their tier one licence application has been successful.

Hamilton, James Hooper, Kristian Platt and Nathan Woolfe scored for Airbus in their win against Holywell, while closest challengers Flint Town United lost against Buckley Town.

The Wingmakers have won the Alliance title at their second attempt after being relegated from the Premier League in 2017.
