Dunstable’s title dreams are ended

A TAME 1-0 home defeat to Hillingdon Borough saw Dunstable Town finally surrender the Molten Spartan SML Premier Division title to rivals Royston Town who triumphed 1-0 at Oxhey Jets.

Town fought hard to break an increasingly stubborn Borough defence and had a goal ruled out shortly before half time for an alleged offence by would-be scorer Dean Brennan.

Three reasonable appeals for penalties were dismissed too as both Nathan Frater and Brennan appeared to be hauled down in possession.

Town visit Hanwell Town at the weekend and for a full report and the thoughts of director of football John McLoughlin, see the Luton News/Dunstable Gazette on sale Wednesday.
