Belper D sealed the Division 3 title in style tonight with a hard‑fought 2½–1½ win over Spondon A in their last game of the season. Knowing that avoiding defeat would be enough to secure the championship, the team showed real composure under pressure to deliver when it mattered most with the win taking Belper D to an unassailable 17 points at the top of the table.

The victory not only confirms Belper D as champions but also earns them a well‑deserved promotion to Division 2 for the upcoming season. Their success means Belper will now have two teams, Belper C and the newly promoted Belper D, competing side by side in the second tier.

A fantastic achievement for the squad and a proud moment for the club. Congratulations to all involved on a superb campaign.
