Middlesex Sunday League Premier Cup semi-final: Highgate Albion 5 Chiswick Griffin Albion 1
Highgate Albion reached the final of the Middlesex Sunday League Premier Cup at the weekend with a 5-1 victory over Chiswick Griffin Albion.
After falling behind in the 30th minute, the local club, who play at St Aloysius Sports Ground, turned the tie around to triumph in the last-four encounter.
It remained 1-0 until half time, though, and a tactical switch was the catalyst for Highgate’s first-team to get the job done.
Tage Kennedy levelled for the hosts on the hour mark and they never looked back afterwards.
