MUSCLIFFE concluded a successful season by claiming the Dorset crown at the County Ground.

Tom Rickman netted the only goal of the game on 60 minutes as the Division Three champions toppled their Division One counterparts in a tight tussle.

Muscliffe were under the cosh after they had a man sent off for two bookable offences just after the interval but survived the Poole onslaught.

Newly-formed Muscliffe are a group of players from Boscombe Albion, Kings Park Dynamo and Moordown Athletic brought to-gether for their final youth year.

Muscliffe manager John Rankin said: “They’re a group of friends who work hard for each other and I believe that is the secret to their success.”
