Hexham Albion Under 16 team, very kindly sponsored by Cygnet Healthcare, are celebrating the double this year with victories in the Northumberland Division 2 Sunday League and Cup.

They won the cup  on St George's Day beating Prudhoe 3-1. The league, however, went down to the wire with the title only secured last Friday in the final game of the season when they came from behind to beat Ellington away 1-2.

Simon Gilroy, Albion's manager, said, "This is a really resilient team and the players have had to dig deep at times to come from behind to clinch victory. Winning the double is a fantastic feat and I'm so proud of them."
