Relics players Tex O’Rourke and Stewart White were included in the Greater Manchester Walking Football League (GMWFL) league teams that competed in the inaugural Walking Football League Alliance (WFLA) Inter League Cup Finals played at Leek Town FC on the immaculate 3G pitch on Saturday 28th May 2022.
Tex was included in the over 70’s team that took part in a three team, round robin, tournament with Dorset and Wales. In their first game the GMWFL team beat Dorset 4 – 0, then beat Wales 5 – 1 to win the trophy.
Stewart played in the over 65’s category which, due to late withdrawals. was reduced to two teams, GMWFL and Wales
Due to the reduced number of teams the Final was played over 6 phases of 15 minute duration. Stewart scored the first goal for the GMWFL in a 4 – 1 victory that saw Manchester lift the cup.
The Relics are looking forward to returning to the same venue on June 11th to compete in the Champions League Finals.
