LEAGUE newcomers Athletico Annies (above) edged a step closer to completing a tremendous treble at the weekend when they booked their place in the final of our prestigious Camden Sunday League Challenge Cup, writes Steve Barnett.
Martin Whitelock scored twice to cap a man-of-the-match display in a 3-2 victory over Boundary Estate, which saw Joe Thompson grab a dramatic last-minute winner.
Annies have already won the Division Two title and have secured a place against Division One champions Phoenix in the final of the Senior Cup. Manager Scott Mills said: “I’m very proud of what the lads have achieved in our first season together. We secured the league title a few weeks ago, and now we could win the treble. If you offered me that in September I’d have bitten your arm off!”
