Maccabi's double vision

It means Maccabi Manchester 2nds are still yet to lose this season – and boss Modlin is dreaming of silverware of two fronts.

He said: "I don't see why we can't do the double. We are flying in the league, but we want to progress in the cups. Now we are in the semi-finals so we are only two wins away.

"We had a few players missing here so it was always going to be a tricky test. They gave us a scare when they pulled the game back to 2-1 and then put us under pressure.

"But once we scored again there was only going to be one winner."
