Goals from Griffin and Doherty against Chimney Corner secure the points needed for promotion, and the Division 1 title. PSNI have 'done the double' by winning the title and the Steel & Sons Cup, and in doing so have secured back to back promotion to the Northern Irish Premiership.
In the process PSNI racked up 50 points and Frank McAree, despite his injury 4 games from the end of the season, broke the league goalscoring record.
"Like I said we made it difficult for ourselves with our end of season form but we pulled it together for the final game. I'm absolutely over the moon. We've come such a long way since the 2nd division. The players have done fantasticaly well and the fans have supported us every step of the way."
The title is de la Vega's 4th piece of silverware in just under 4 years at PSNI. Fan were previously just pleased that de la Vega had returned the club to Division 1 but now can celebrate the fact they will be playing top flight football next season.
"Our aim next season is to just survive. All celebrations from the title win aside we're a small club, financially we're struggling. We are going to be a very small fish in the NIP. Next season is going to be a struggle but one we're looking forward to."
