Mailcoach make it a treble


Goals from John Penn and Michael Stowell ensured Mailcoach completed a treble as they beat Manningham 2-0 in the Bradford & District FA Sunday Cup final.

With the Amateur Cup and Bradford Sunday Alliance League Division 3B titles already in the bag, Mailcoach were underdogs in their latest quest for silverware against the Division 2B leaders at Thackley.

But Manningham conceded a penalty after just ten minutes to fall behind as Penn converted.

Goalkeeper Luke Fawcett then kept Mailcoach in front with two superb saves in the final stages of the first half.

With Waheed Khan causing problems for the opposition midfield, Manningham always looked dangerous.

But 11 minutes into the second period, Stowell doubled Mailcoach’s lead and from that moment they always looked likely winners.
