Wimbledon coach James Olgivie-Bull says his charges saved the best until last as they thumped Sidcup 54-7 to clinch the London One South title.

Tries from Ti Pairama-Lewington (two), Bryan Croke (two), Josh Charles, Chris Lewis, Campbell Tait and Ian Davey - plus 14 points from Neil Hallett - put Sidcup to the sword on Saturday, and saw Dons home by two points from Chobham in second.

Dons have topped the table for the majority of the season, but it came down to the last game to secure their place in National League Three.

Despite the close run-in, Bully reckons Saturday’s emphatic win sent out a simple message to their rivals.

“We saved the best until last, and really showed the rest of the league what we are all about and what we’re capable of,” he said.

“Once we went top we did not let it go and Saturday was the icing on the cake.

“Now the season is over, the league table does not lie, and it says Wimbledon are the champions.”

The title has been a few years in the making, as Dons have finished in the top five for the past two seasons.

However, the arrival in the summer of Harlequins and England international Nick Easter, and Wasps legend Tim Payne, as coaches, took the club on that extra step.

Bully said: “Nick and Tim have been incredibly influential, and their enthusiasm has rubbed off on the players.

“This season has been a culmination of a lot of hard work, and the players deserve a lot of credit for the way they have applied themselves week in week out.”

He added: “We’re excited about going into the National Leagues and we’re determined to show we’re not a flash in the pan side.

“Teams that get promoted out of London One South don’t tend to yo yo – Gravesend and Chichester who went up last year have more than held their own.

“As long as we retain key players, and I cannot see that being an issue, and recruit well, I can see us having a good season.”

As for Bully, who joined Wimbledon six years’ ago, this is by far his proudest moment.

He said: “We’ve won promotion via the play-offs, which was amazing, but to be able to say we are the league champions is beyond that.

“It’s fantastic, and the celebrations went on into the early hours of Sunday morning, and then we all met for lunch on Sunday and it carried on from there.”
