COLCHESTER United Women head coach Simon King says winning the double in their first season is a 'massive achievement'.
The U's thrashed Southminster United 6-0 to lift the Essex Women's League Cup, adding it to their Essex Women's division two title won last week.
It has been a memorable season for Colchester, who were formed last summer.
