Manx Liberty win the 4NCL 2024-25 season - 10

Manx Liberty took a three point lead in the 4NCL into the final three round May Day Bank Holiday weekend. They meet their closest challengers Wood Green in the final round 11. What happened was slightly unexpected, the destination of the title was strongly influenced by a mid-table third party.

In Round 9 The Sharks 1 managed a 4-4 draw against Manx Liberty whilst Wood Green comfortably beat Barnet Knights to move within striking distance, and revealed they had recruited Michael Adams for the final weekend. Round 10 showed that The Sharks 1 hadn't finished decisively intervening in the season when they edged out Wood Green 4.5.3.5. All but one game was decisive. Meanwhile Manx Liberty guaranteed the title was theirs by an emphatic 7.5-0.5 win against a struggling Alba side.

We can still look forward to an interesting final match on Bank Holiday Monday, but the main issue has been decided.
