Predators cap tremendous season with The Treble


A youth team in Swinton is celebrating the culmination of an incredible season by doing The Treble: winning the league, the League Cup, and the Challenge Cup.

Beechfield United Under 15s Predators picked up the Tameside Sunday League Cup with a 3-1 victory over Stockport side Youth Kicks JFC.

The local side dominated the final; a first-half score by Man of the Match Brendon Kent was followed by two goals in the second half from young Jamie Pollitt which guaranteed silverware.

That win came just days after Beechy secured the Challenge Cup.

And the title challenge for the Tameside Football League JFC Sports Division came down to the wire with the final game of the season.

Youth Kicks JFC proved tougher opposition this time, standing between them and glory.

A dour first half with plenty of spoiling tactics from Youth Kicks helped both sides to a 0-0 draw.

But the tension mounted and eight minutes from the whistle Brandon Kent won a penalty and took the spot kick himself to break the deadlock.

A superb effort by George Davies doubled the Predators’ lead.

When the whistle went the Swinton side were automatically champions on goal difference.

Manager Gareth Kent and his assisstant Martin McCarthy praised the club set-up and all the players for making this marvellous achievement possible.
