Domestic Football round-up, May 2010

THE domestic football season has come to a close in England and here are the results of who became champions, who was promoted, who won the play-off matches and who was relegated, with some notes as we go through.

First things first, the Premiership Champions are Chelsea FC, whilst the three teams relegated from the Premiership are Burnley, Hull and Portsmouth.

In the Championship, the Champions are Newcastle United, promoted are West Bromwich Albion and the winner of the play-off is Blackpool. Relegated are Sheffield Wednesday, Plymouth Argyle and Peterborough United.

The League One Champions are Norwich City. Leeds United promoted in second place, whilst Millwall won the play-off final at Wembley Stadium. Carlisle United Football Club finished the League One season in fourteenth position. Relegated from League One are Gillingham, Wycombe Wanderers, Southend United and Stockport County.

The League Two Champions are Notts County, promoted are Bournemouth and Rochdale. Dagenham & Redbridge won the play-off final. Morecambe finished their season in fourth position. Relegated out of the Football League are Grimsby Town and Darlington.

The Blue Square Premier Champions are Stevenage FC (formerly Stevenage Borough). Oxford United are promoted, courtesy of winning the play-off final. Barrow won the FA Trophy at Wembley Stadium and finished their season in fifteenth position. Relegated from the Blue Square Premier are Forest Green Rovers, Ebbsfleet and Grays Athletic.

It is with regret that this season has come to a close with the loss of Chester City Football Club, who closed after having a history of over a century. An unofficial Chester Football Club website is available here.

Football does not end here for 2010, the FIFA World Cup will soon be upon us. Whoever your club is, wherever your country is, let us hope the tournament will be, as always, the best ever.
