Hakin 2nds defeated Monkton Swifts 2nds 5-1 at the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium to secure a league and cup double in Division Two.

The Vikings had been crowned Division Two champions following their recent victory over Solva. They came in to the cup final on the run of 12 straight victories, with only one loss throughout the entire season.

Thomas Evans opened the scoring for Hakin 2nds with a goal just before half-time to give his side a slender lead at the break, thanks to an assist from Hayden Dimond.

Josh Richards equalised four minutes into the second half, but five minutes later midfielder Leon Davies stepped up to the spot to fire the Vikings into the lead.

Then in the 59th minute, Leon scored again to double the lead and make it 3-1, with Hayden Dimond grabbing another assist.

Hayden then made it a hat-trick of assists, setting up Thomas Evans for his second in the 72nd minute.

Leon Davies then turned provider, teeing up substitute James Trueman to make it five, rounding off an excellent victory for the Vikings.
