WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Ulverston Rangers celebrated victory in the FA Under 18s Lancashire Youth Cup competition sponsored by Furness Building Society.  The team turned out with the trophy at the local branch to meet Ulverston area manager Ian Quayle, who attended the match and was full of praise for the iron nerves of the team in a nail-biting penalty shoot-out

.

Rangers were locked in a 0-0 stalemate with Wigan-based Ashton Athletic after 90 minutes of the game played at Leyland in Lancashire.  With no extra-time being played, the game went straight to penalties.  A couple of excellent saves by Ulverston’s man-of-the-match Jarek Bitner and a match-winning penalty from Liam Curwen sealed the win for Ulverston.

Manager Steve Tweddell said: “It was a fantastic win for the under-18s and for the club; they deserved it with all the hard work that has been put in previous rounds and in training.
