U19 Sefton Cup Champions

Congratulations to the 1st XI for finishing the season as TREBLE winners, after securing a 2-1 victory over Chesterfield High School in the Sefton Cup Final on Friday.

This triumph marks a historic moment as the 1st XI become the first Merchant Taylors’ team to win the Sefton Cup. Freddie opened the scoring with a brilliant turn in the box, followed by a superb left-footed strike into the bottom corner of the Chesterfield net. The 1st XI then dominated the ball, but a misplaced pass led to Chesterfield equalising with a penalty.

The second half was tense, with both teams fiercely competing for the decisive goal. With just ten minutes remaining, a header from a cross forced the Chesterfield goalkeeper to tip the ball onto the bar, allowing Franz to seize the opportunity and secure the Sefton Cup for the 1st XI!

Commiserations to Chesterfield High School who played excellently and put up a strong fight and a massive congratulations to everyone involved – the perfect and well-deserved conclusion to an outstanding season for the First XI.
