THAME will be playing Ryman Division One football next season, after securing a quick return to the first division on Tuesday night with a 2-1 win over Wokingham.

Andy Sinnott's men can now sit back and bask in their promotion glory tomorrow when they take on Abingdon Town at the Windmill Stadium (ko 3pm) in their penultimate game of the season.

Boss Sinnott said: "It's certainly nice that we finished it off and got the job done before the weekend.

"We have achieved what we set out to do back at the beginning of the season. We responded well to last year's relegation, they're a smashing bunch of lads and they thoroughly deserve what they have got."

And it's even sweeter for Thame as they have managed to achieve what Marlow failed to do when they suffered the drop two seasons ago -- go straight back up.

While Marlow are forced to settle for another season in the second division, Thame are popping the champagne corks to celebrate a successful term.
