HISTORY MADE AT KEYS PARK! Hednesford Town Win Promotion in Front of Record Crowd

🏆 NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE PLAY-OFF FINAL DRAMA AT KEYS PARK!
Hednesford Town vs Congleton Town | Play-Off Final | Step 4 → Step 3 Promotion Battle 🔥

Today I travelled to Keys Park for a massive clash between Hednesford Town and Congleton Town in the Northern Premier League Division One West Play-Off Final. A spot in Step 3 was on the line – and what unfolded was a day full of history, passion, nerves, and unbelievable scenes!

Before kick-off, I met Trevor, a long-serving Hednesford volunteer, who spoke honestly about the club’s recent progress under new ownership and the massive growth in attendance this season. There was real hope of a record crowd at Keys Park today!

I also caught up with Brian Horton, former Manchester City manager and Hednesford Town player, who shared stories of starting his career at the club, its deep-rooted history, and why he returned to support them instead of watching Port Vale!

🎥 On the pitch:

Hednesford started well and won an early penalty... but missed!

The game stayed tight until first half stoppage time, when another penalty was awarded – this time, converted!

Congleton went down to 10 men late in the second half...

And in the 94th minute, Hednesford sealed it!

Pitch invasion scenes erupted as the club secured promotion to Step 3!

The perfect day for The Pitmen, and a storybook ending for this incredible non-league journey.
