It is with great pleasure we warmly welcome Players, Officials and Supporters of Shropshire clubs to join us. Big thank you, to our Match Officials who have been appointed to each final,this is recognition for their hard work and determination this season.

I would like to place on record our thanks to all our Clubs and Leagues for their support and co-operation throughout the season. Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the staff for all their hard work and dedication in running the competitions and organising the finals.

Best wishes to both teams and regardless of the outcome this is a fantastic celebration of football and a fitting end to the 23-24 competition.

NOBLE

When a match has resulted in a draw after the playing of 90 minutes, the winner shall be decided by the taking of penalty kicks in accordance with the procedure adopted by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).

Not everyone has the same opportunities when it comes to developing life skills that can help secure a job, or support career growth. England Football Learning and Chase, as the Official Banking Partner of England Football Learning, want to help change that, by harnessing the power of football to help individuals develop transferable skills that can unlock their potential, on the pitch and beyond.

Chase fully funded places have been created to provide funding opportunities for coaches who would benefit from financial support towards completing either the Introduction to Coaching Football, UEFA B Licence or UEFA A Licence.

The programme is aligned to our wider goal of helping to increase participation within the game, as well as Chase’s ongoing investment in community-based programmes. By fostering diversity and inclusion within our coaching workforce we aim to:

Increase participation: Inspiring individuals from all backgrounds

MERESIDE RANGERS

History:

Mereside Rangers FC was established in the Summer of 2022 and entered into Division 1 of the Shrewsbury Sunday League. Over many years, our players have evolved through differing teams but have centred around a core group of college friends. Along the way, we have been fortunate to add some great additions to our team which makes it the competitive squad that it is today. In the 2022-2023 season, we finished sixth in Division 1 of the Shrewsbury Sunday League, alongside finishing as Runners Up of the Jason Bramall Cup in the Summer of 2023.

This season, our club has continued to grow thanks to generous sponsorships from:

- The Peacock Inn, Shrewsbury

- Canopy Coverage

- Charlie’s Gardening Services

As a club, we would like to say a huge thank you to our sponsors for supporting us in our footballing venture.

This season has certainly been one to remember for all of our players, supporters and sponsors. Tonight, we play here at New Bucks Head for the Shropshire Challenge Cup but elsewhere we are also in a nail-biting league title race for the Division 1 trophy in the Shrewsbury Sunday League. Let’s hope tonight we can grab our first piece of silverware this season. Up with Mere!
