LISTEN: Mitchell hattrick sees Whaddon set up Reg Davis Final with Wickwar Wanderers

Jordan Mitchell bagged a hattrick as Whaddon United secured their spot in the GNSL’s Reg Davis Cup Final, beating Gala Wilton 3-1 in Wednesday’s night Semi Final.

After Wickwar Wanderers booked their place in October’s final last week, all eyes were on Saw Mills with Whaddon expected to put Division One’s bottom side to the sword.

But a resilient and competitive Gala performance saw them unfortunately go behind before the break, as Jordan Mitchell beat Aaron Charman to a ball flicked in by Tyler Mitchell – leaving the winger the easy task of running the ball into the net.

Mitchell arrived at the back post in the second half to slide home a second and at that point, the tie was over.

Gala had other ideas though, as Wakib Said’s cross was only punched up into the air by James Mitten – with Harvey Sheridan on hand to volley past Mitten from close range to set up a grand stand finish.

Mitchell would have the final say though, as Whaddon countered from a Gala corner and after beating Charman to a long ball forward, Mitchell clipped home into the empty net to start the celebrations for the Division One leaders.

All roads now lead to Stonehouse Town’s Ben’s Takeaway Stadium for the final, Wickwar Wanderers vs Whaddon United on Wednesday 7 October – kick 19:30.
