Town clinch BritLeague glory

London Town won the BritLeague Final by a goal to nil against London United after a late header from unlikely hero Shane Macdonald.

James Douglas sent in a free-kick towards the head of Macdonald who beat his brother John at the near post.

Shane Macdonald wasn't expected to play, but an injury to Juanpa in the pre-game warm-up led to Macdonald getting the start.

And Macdonald played a superb defensive game, giving him the Man of the Match award. This made history as his brother John Macdonald won the award last year, making John and Shane the first brothers to win the BritLeague Final MVP back-to-back.

London Town won the BritLeague for the first time in their short history, having only been founded in 2005.
