Marton FC U-9′s Win Russell Foster Summer League
Well done to Marton FC U-9′s who entered the Russell Foster Summer League and clinched the title with a comfortable 3 – 0 victory against a resolute Washington Cougars.
In an extremeley competetive league against the best teams in the Wearside and Tyneside areas there was some hard fought games especially against a quality Wearside Rds team who finished runners-up. Top performances from all 10 squad members brought praise and rave reviews from opposing teams. Luke Chapman was top scorer with Baker Braithwaite, Dillon Lewis,Alfie Hughes, Sam Lawrence,Harry Donachie,Max McGukkin,Lennox Barry and Morgan Mulgrew all contributing with goals, and Oliver Swann who kept a fantastic 15 clean sheets throughout the season. All the boys would like to thank managers Bob Hughes and Dave Braithwaite for the tremendous work they put in to achieve the hard fought and well deserved success.
Marton Girls Win York Tournament
Marton under 10 Girls remained undefeated and did not concede a goal to win this year’s City of York Girls’ Football League Tournament. The girl’s started off well to top their group, then a single goal by Alex Doyle was enough to earn a victory in the quarter-finals.
A tight semi-final against Knaresborough Celtic, who were runners-up in the York Girls’ League, went to extra-time and penalties. Marton’s goalkeeper Hannah Helm saved 4 penalties to ensure a spot in the final against the much-fancied Fulford Girls, who had won a double in an undefeated campaign. However, a confident Marton team were able to match Fulford in every department, and Emma Bradley scored the winning goal with a few minutes to spare.
A great result which was earned through hard work, determination and good football – all ten girls contributed on the day to get a well deserved first trophy. The girls received their trophies from Jess Clarke, a current England player who scored a winning goal during the recent FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The team would also like to congratulate Neve Benn for gaining a place at the Centre of Excellence, and to wish her good luck.
Well done girls.
