Sefton Football
Cup Final
THIS Year’s Year 10 Sefton
Cup Final was played recently between Range High School and
Maricourt High School. It turned out to be an epic cup final,
finishing 6-5 to Range.
Range scored first, with captain Elliot Jones finishing off a neat
move with a good finish, but soon Maricourt came back to make it
1-1. Range played more of a passing game, and a great strike from
outside the box from Tom Croughan put Range 2-1 ahead. Maricourt
favoured the more direct approach and soon found the equalizer to
make it 2-2.
Range then had a good spell of controlled football and two goals
from Jack Stewart, who was a constant problem to Maricourt with his
pace, made it 4-2 to Range. However, Maricourt are a tough side and
they responded with 2 goals to make it 4-4.
This match could go either way as Range went back on the attack and
Jack Stewart got his hat-trick with a great goal into the top corner
of the net. With 10 minutes to go surely Maricourt could not come
back again … yes they could, with another goal to make it 5-5. With
not long to go, and extra-time on the cards, Range had one more
chance and they took it, with the move of the match – a great cross
field pass from Harry Blackburn found Elliot Styche and in one move
he beat the full back and sent over a great cross to the back post.
Dominic Giblin was at the back to volley home what turned out to be
the winning goal, making the final scoreline 6-5.
What a match! It was a game that was played in the right spirit
throughout the match by both teams, but you can only have one winner
and that was Range, who have won this Trophy for the 3rd year on the
run and that is a great achievement. Well done to both teams in what
was an epic cup final.
