Hampstead FC’s Under-15 team won the League Cup on Saturday, beating AFC Camden & Islington 5-0 in the final to win the league and cup double for the second year in a row.
Played at Hampstead’s home ground at the Chase Lodge playing fields, the match was a one-sided affair.
Early goals from captain James McWilliams and Dylan Middlebrook were followed by a Francis Amartey brace after the interval, and Ben Nohr completed the rout.
Hampstead Under-15s secured the league title for the third season running three weeks ago at Regent’s Park.
Both trophies were presented after Saturday’s cup final by the Regent’s Park league manager Will Cave.
