The Phil Jenkins Memorial cup Blackpool 2004

This years Orthotic Technicians five a side football event was an enjoyable day for all who attended. The famous seaside resort of Blackpool was the venue for 2004 competition.

On a pleasant Saturday afternoon seven teams from across the UK contested for the right to become the 2004 cup holders. Last year’s winners Algeos looked a threat once again with a string of impressive wins in their group games.

Ortho.C.Fab, 2003’s beaten finalists were finding it hard to recapture the form of last year, possibly because their hotel bar had been open from 10.00am that morning. Wales was well represented by a large contingent from Daceys of Cardiff who enjoyed themselves over the weekend.

The two semi finals were Trust Orthotics v Gilbert & Mellish and Algeos v RSL. Both were hotly contested, with Trust and Algeos victorious, which set up an all Merseyside final. This was Algeos third final in as many years as they set out to become the first team to retain the trophy. But Trust in their first tournament turned on the style. After two early goals they looked the more assured team and ended up being convincing winners with a 4-0 victory in the end.

Trust MD Paul Turner was delighted with his team’s achievements and was pleased to receive the trophy from Algeos sales director James Sheridan.

Orthotictechnicains would like to thank all this years participants for their time and effort and for making the day so enjoyable once again. The football was well contested and played in good nature.

Congratulations to Paul at Trust for a fine victory.
