Cambridge is perhaps one of the most known cities in England, yet its soccer team have been for a long time lurking far beneath the top English domestic divisions in soccer, however, on Sunday afternoon they ran out Wembley Stadium victors in their Conference Premier Final against Gateshead. Now Cambridge will be a League Two side once again. Their 2-1 victory proved enough to hand them a second Wembley win this season.

In March Cambridge won the FA Trophy at Wembley, and this experience proved key in winning there again. Cambridge United manager Richard Money had this to say on his sides monumental victory:

"Relieved would be the strongest feeling.

"It is the best way to go up. Having won the FA Trophy as well, what was half-a-good season has suddenly been an incredible season.

"I think you can see how important it is from the supporters' reaction today. We brought terrific numbers. Nine years out of the League is a long time.

"There is a stigma about being a non-league club, from people who don't really understand the level. But the fact you can now call yourself a Football League club and the players can call themselves Football League players means an incredible amount."

How will Cambridge fair now they're back in the higher tiers of English soccer, and can they find a way to go a level higher within a year or two? Whatever happens, if they get back to Wembley any time soon, you'd back them to win after doing the double there this season.
