Marsh United Lift Guildhall Cup with Second‑Half Surge

Marsh United crowned their cup campaign in style with a 3–1 victory over Walmer Bridge in the Guildhall Cup Final, overturning an early setback to take control after the break. It was Walmer Bridge who struck first on 22 minutes, Dominic Case finding the net to hand his side a deserved lead and give Marsh plenty to think about heading into half‑time.

The response after the interval was emphatic. Joe Pollard levelled the contest on 56 minutes, shifting the momentum firmly in Marsh United’s favour. Just five minutes later, Jamie Taylor completed the turnaround with a composed finish to make it 2–1, sparking celebrations on the sidelines and leaving Walmer Bridge chasing the game.

Marsh United managed the closing stages with confidence and composure, and the victory was sealed late on when Theo Callander struck in the 87th minute to put the result beyond doubt. It was a strong second‑half display built on resilience, belief and clinical finishing, as Marsh United lifted the Guildhall Cup after a commanding comeback performance on the big stage.

Standish St Wilfrid’s Complete Memorable Night with Double Trophy Win at the County Ground

The Guildhall Cup Final was played under the lights last night at the County Ground in Leyland, where Standish St Wilfrid’s came from behind to defeat Marsh United 2-1 in front of around 200 spectators.

The game was officiated by Michael Bonage, assisted by Mark Fitzpatrick and Callum Edgar, with Michael Blackledge acting as the fourth official.

Marsh United struck first in the 32nd minute when Daniel Martin snuck in from close range to surprise the Standish goalkeeper and put his side 1-0 up. Marsh carried their lead into the half-time break.

However, Standish St Wilfrid’s responded strongly after the restart. Matt Clarke fired home the equaliser from just outside the 18-yard box in the 52nd minute. The comeback was completed in the 70th minute when James Harrison capitalised on a fumble in the Marsh box to slot home the winner.

It was a night of double celebration for Standish St Wilfrid’s, who were not only crowned Guildhall Cup championsbut also presented with the Premiership trophy, having won 17 of their 19 league games with one fixture remaining against Highgrove.
