A big well done to Liverpool County FA, who decided to honour the achievements of their remaining sides in the Sunday Cup by providing the facilities at their Walton Hall Park HQ for free, to Mariners for tomorrow's quarter final tie against Northampton Duke of York.
On 25th January, LCFA Chief Executive, David Pugh, personally contacted all 3 sides (Oyster Martyrs, Mariners and Salisbury Athletic) to advise them that they would decide which team would play at their ground, by making a draw.
Oyster had already qualified for the QF, so their name went in first. However, it was Mariners/Salisbury's name who was drawn out (which explains why an FA Competition bulletin I saw had both Mariners and Salisbury playing at the LCFA ground, before their tie had been resolved).
I'm sure that Mariners will appreciate the support they are receiving from the LCFA and the opportunity to play on a much envied playing suface.
So, well done to the LCFA for this gesture. Other County FA's take note!!
Many thanks to Ian Porter and the excellent Salisbury Athletic programme for this information.
