St George’s AFC, one of the most successful clubs in Manx football history, have been relegated from the top division after a difficult season.

The club, which has won the island’s top league title 20 times, including the inaugural Premier League in 2007–08, will now face life outside the top flight for the first time in years.

The Glencrutchery Road outfit also boasts eight Manx FA Cup titles, but this season has seen them struggle to maintain their place among the elite of Manx football.

Their relegation marks the end of an era for a team that has dominated the local game for decades.
