Charlton retain Crown Berger cup

The Addicks retained the Crown Berger Cup with a convincing 3-0 win at Park View Road yesterday.

Charlton went ahead after 25 minutes when impressive trialist Cameron Stewart's deep cross found Jason Pearce and he finished well from close range. Dillon Phillips then made a great block with his legs to keep out a shot from Goldberg.

Charlton made Welling pay four minutes from the break when Stuart crossed to Patrick Bauer. Although Chris Lewington made a spectacular save from his initial effort, the centre back followed up with a strong header.

The second half was quieter with multiple substitutions but Charlton added a third when Mikhail Kennedy finished in style with four minutes left.

The game ended with the customary pitch invasion and, according to a photo on Twitter, a naked streaker ran through the sprinkler system after the ground had emptied.

In the second match of the day Charlton secured a 4-0 win over Greenwich Borough with Cristian Cellabos, returning after a year on loan at Sint Truiden, finding the back of the net: Comfortable win

Karl Robinson is talking to the 26-year old Cameron Stewart about his future: Sitting down for a chat

Farewell then, Tex

Jorge Teixeira has joined Sint Truiden on a three year deal. Karl Robinson reckons that his departure to the mother ship marks a new start at the club, offering fans a more evenly balanced side: Why Tex left

Robinson refused to be drawn on the player's salary, rumoured to be £12k a week. Incidentally, it appears that we are paying a big slice of Ajose's salary at the cash strapped Shakers.

Karl Robinson has yet to decide whether Naby Sarr or Cristian Ceballos will remain at The Valley after the summer, but in the meantime has asked them to behave in a professional manner and show him respect: Boss torn on future of duo

However, the Charlton boss emphasised that if they left they would have to be replaced by better. Not too difficult surely?

Valete, Cristian Cellabos

He has signed on loan for a year with STVV. The Chicago (resident in Bermuda) Addick who spotted what had happened sums it up all very well: Valete

The Chicago Addick suggests that he took the worst ever corner kick in Charlton's history. The streets of SE7 remained calm last night with no reports of fans rending their Cellabos shirts.

More to the point is when the 'Blackpool of the South' will actually make any more signings to help poor out Russell Slade out.

It has just been announced that former Valley announcer 'Big Dave' Lockwood is to perform a similar role at Ebbsfleet United. Former Charton chief executive Peter Varney has a key role at the one time Gravesend & Northfleet. Read more here: Big Dave
