A FINE 3-2 win at home to Bowdon means Deeside Ramblers will finish top of their group in the English Boys Under 14s Championship.
The Ramblers starlets cannot be caught in North League Two after the vital victory and they can now look forward to taking part in the regional final in Leeds in April.

Ramblers 7ths stopped the rot in North West League Division 10 South by drawing 2-2 at home to relegation rivals Alderley Edge 5ths.
Tom Ellis and Ian Forster were on target for the hosts, for whom Mike Verity was the star performer.
