The Mark Milsome Memorial Cup 2024 took place last weekend and was a tremendous success. A large crowd turned out to support the teams. All the teams fought tooth and nail in thrilling playoffs. The exhilarating final match between Eweventus and Hail Mary FC saw Hail Mary FC clinch the cup in a memorable victory. Huge congratulations to the winners, runners-up, and all the teams who took part, and to Callum Crawford for receiving the Bickers Action Player of the Match Award.

A special acknowledgment and thanks goes out to Andy Woodcock and Harry Bowers whose dedication to organising the event every year has been invaluable. Andy stated:
“It was another successful year for the MMMC, with a great response from fans and players to the new tournament format. The event created smiles and laughs throughout the day, exactly the spirit that we want to evoke when remembering Mark. I want to thank all the teams for entering and give Vera FC a special mention for travelling the length of the country to take part. I’m so pleased to know that the cup has become such a big event that it will draw this level of effort from competing teams. We look forward to next year for an even bigger, even better MMMC25!”
