Cup Final Heartache for Faddiley.

A single goal was all that was needed as Pirates secure the cup.

Heartache for Faddiley in their quest for the double as a solitary goal saw them lose the cup final.

A decent crowd of around 240 turned up for the final as the two Nantwich based teams clashed for the 3rd time this season and it was Faddiley had the better of the opening stages, but did not take their chances with Brandon Mighten firing over the crossbar in the first few minutes, while Richard Ford saw his shot hit the side netting. It was Nantwich Pirates who took the lead midway through the first half with a fine strike by Liam Whittaker on the counterattack. This proved to be the only goal of the game, and with Faddiley
offering little attacking threat with the game becoming a stop start affair that saw the referee Ian Hurdle issue 10 yellow cards.
