Chigwell Athletic B 2-1 Hendon United A 1

A brace from Greg Bookman helped Division One Chigwell Athletic B cause one of the shocks of the season as they booked a place in a major final for the first time after beating the Premier Division champions Hendon United A in the JC Cyril Anekstein Cup.

Bookman opened the scoring after just four minutes only for Avidan Last to head home an equaliser 10 minutes later. Bookman clinched the East Londoners’ place in the final, slotting home just after the hour mark to end Hendon’s treble hopes and halt a lengthy winning run.

A delighted Chigwell boss Russell Green commented: “It was a great battle and I thought luck was on our side. The conditions ensured that it was going to be a scrappy affair, but in the end we just held on. We will now look forward to the final and have nothing to be scared of.”
