Mid-season champion Knoxwood FC is on the brink of clinching their first major football title when they take on Leeds United in the 2006-2007 St. Elizabeth Co-op Credit Union Division One second leg final at Appleton Estate today at 3:30 p.m.

In the run up to the semis both teams were unbeaten. After 17 games, Knoxwood registered 14 wins and 3 draws.

They scored a record 54 goals with 17 against to finish with 45 points, while the Dennis "Bigga" Ellison-coached Leeds United won 12 games from 18 matches. They drew 4 games, lost two and scored 33 goals and gave up 23 to finish on 40 points.

The champion and runner-up will be promoted to the Major League next season.
