Rothwell Corinthians have been relegated from the United Counties League Premier Division South.

Corinthians’ spot in the bottom two of the division was confirmed last night (Monday) as they were beaten 3-0 by Newport Pagnell Town, who leapfrogged Wellingborough Town into third place at the other end of the table.

It’s been a tough campaign for Corinthians with just five wins registered from their 33 games so far.

The loss at Newport came after they had drawn 1-1 with Bugbrooke St Michaels at Sergeants Lawn on Saturday, Tai Williams on target.

Elsewhere at the weekend, Wellingborough slipped to a surprise 3-1 defeat at bottom side Long Buckby, despite Nat Gosnal-Tyler giving them an early lead.

And Desborough Town were also beaten 2-1 at home by Histon after also taking a second-half lead through Liam Boath.

The local clubs will wrap up their UCL season this weekend with Corinthians heading to Cogenhoe United, Wellingborough on the road at second-placed Rugby Town and Desborough also away from home at March Town United.
