Seventh heaven: Cleator Moor Celtic with the AP & J Brown Divisional Cup

Frizington White Star were 4-1 up at half-time, after goals from Dean Rodgers, Alan Blair, George Close and a spectacular overhead kick from David Williams.

But four goals from Michael Lewis, one from the spot, and a hat-trick from man-of-the-match Karl Fillingham gave Celtic a 7-4 win and the cup.

The game was the first of three cup finals in a week for Frizington, who had the ISS Waterers Peter Dawson Benevolent Cup final against Netherhall on Wednesday night, and the CFM Whitehaven Cup final on Saturday against Aspatria. Both games are at Borough Park.
