Sun Sports take Title, now for the cup double

After taking fifty years to lift their first Premier Division title, Sun Sports needed just one to take their second.
A 2-1 midweek win over Croxley Guild was enough to clinch the Premier Division championship for the second successive season.
"I am stunned," admitted Sun spokesman Tom Barber afterwards, "We've had five games in eight days and the players are absolutely knackered, but it has been a brilliant achievement."
Sun looked out of it at Christmas with Wormley odds-on favourites.
But a remarkable run has seen them go through three months with a 100 per cent record.
And in their 32 league games this season, they have only conceded 24 goals.
Noel Gallagher headed Sun into an early lead against Croxley on Tuesday night, only to net with a spectacular header at the wrong end to square things up at the break.
Sun moved up a gear after the break with Dougie Taylor scoring the winner.
"It was not a particularly good game," said Barber.
"Both teams were desperate for the points."
Croxley had their chances and twice hit the woodwork.
"I felt we were worth a point," said Guild's Dave Rickman.
Now Sun are looking to complete the double, as they meet Roussell Sports on Bank Holiday Monday in the final of he Aubrey Cup (Met. Police Bushey, kick off 3pm).
Ironically, there will be a dress rehearsal as the two sides meet each other in the league tomorrow.
The previous Thursday, goals from Greg Manning (2) and Taylor had made short work of Colney Heath while on Saturday claimed the vital scalp at title rivals Wormley Rivals to as good as seal the championship.
The 3-0 win over Wormley flattered Sun a little as their hectic schedule showed signs of taking its toll.
Two Mark Ash headers gave Sun the half time lead while substitute Alan Langdale struck the third.
And just to further illustrate Sun's domination of the County League, their reserves are also champions of their division for the second successive season running while also being up for the Reserve Cup.
