THE Times Territory duo of Kelly Smith and Alex Scott signed off their Arsenal careers last night (Thursday) by both scoring in the FA Tesco Women's Premier League Cup final.
Arsenal's 5-0 rout over Doncaster Rovers Belles was an emotion-fuelled night at Glanford Park, Scunthorpe.
And it included a hat-trick from WGC striker Kelly and one goal by right back Alex.
The other goal was scored by Suzanne Grant.
Kelly and Alex will now go to the United States to join the Boston Breakers in the Women's Professional Soccer League next week.
It was Arsenal Ladies' third League Cup triumph in four years, and their 10th in total.
