Merchant Taylors’ Lifts U19 Mersey College Cup

The 1st XI defeated Marine Football Academy 2-0 to lift their first silverware of the 2023/24 season, yesterday afternoon! After a competitive but goalless first-half, second-half goals from Franz & Jules secured the cup for Merchant Taylors’.

Joe and Jules combined after a quickly taken corner to send a cross into the box for Franz, who headed home superbly. Franz then turned creator, setting Jules up 25 yards out to send a rocket into the top corner.

Massive congratulations to the boys; this victory was thoroughly deserved after all their efforts and commitment this season. We couldn’t be prouder of this team!

A huge thank you also to Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Stiff for their contributions throughout the season.

Well done to Marine Football Academy on yet another excellent battle, following the two teams’ encounter in the U19 Merseyside Cup Final last month.
