A point against East Cowes Sports was sufficient to see High Park return to Harwoods Isle of Wight Division 1 as champions.
Dan Robjant was the scorer of the vital High Park goal. Josh Richardson was the ECS scorer from the penalty spot.
After the game, High Park manager Stuart Woodmore told Island Echo:
“It was the most scrappy game ever, but we will take the point.
“I’m proud of everyone to turn the club around this season after such a negative season and relegation last year.
“Making memories with our family and friends is what our club is all about. We will go up this time and do things properly and once again try prove everyone wrong.
“After all, we are just a Sunday league club playing Saturday football.”
High Park are 10 points clear of 2nd-placed Oakfield with 1 game of their season left to play.
