The Phil Jenkins Memorial Cup Leeds 2005

This years’ event took place at Goals football centre in Leeds in temperatures of up to 90 degrees. It was an extremely hot day, which made play conditions pretty demanding but most players showed just how fit the Orthotics industry is and got stuck-in from the whistle.

The format of this year’s competition was different from previous years due to the number of teams who dropped out of the tournament last minute - you know who you are! Instead of it usual knockout structure, a league system was used where each team played each other, earning 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw. The two teams who finished top of this league battled out in a final.

Most games on the day were fiercely contested, but after a slow start the Algeos team started to gel and became the tournament’s team to beat. After drawing their 1st game against RSL, the Algeos boys got better and better, beating all the other teams by at least 2 goals. They deservedly made it through to the final to face the only side that held them, RSL Steeper.

The day ended with the teams (and Talar Made’s adoring fans!) enjoying some cold beers, before James Sheridan presented the trophy to delighted Algeos captain Sean Large. “After losing the final last year to Trust Orthotics, its great to bring the cup back home to Liverpool. Another one for Algeos trophy cabinet!” said Sean.
