Davyhulme Park set a new record yesterday with their highest finish in a cup competition as they blasted their way through to the 1/4 finals of the Memorial Cup.
Unfortunately Halton Juniors sent the division 2 new boys home with a 3-0 victory but a 1/4 final finish was still an achievement for a club that is still only 15 months in existence.
Manager Mike Jones had this to say “I was delighted with the way in which we progressed to the quarter final stage with such a big victory over Manchester CC, a team that is not to be underestimated, and a strong performance.”
On the defeat the man at the helm of Davyhulme Park said “There’s no shame in losing to such a good team however the way in which we lost is a disappointment. I felt we showed them too much respect and didn’t play our own game enough. Still I take nothing away from Halton Juniors. They are a very good team with some superb footballers and I wish them all the best for the season”
So despite the tournament coming to a premature end for Davyhulme Park it was still something of a success and should set the team in good sted ahead of a tricky fixture against early league leaders Broadway Rovers
Davyhulme Park will host local rivals Broadway Rovers in their opening game of the season.
The fixture promises to be a fierce contest if the recent pre season friendly is anything to go by.
Broadway inflicted DPFCs first defeat of pre-season that day and showed the Division Two new comers they won’t have things all their own way.

DPFCs next fixture sees them take on Manchester CC in the knockout stages of the Memorial Cup. Despite an unfortunate season last year Manchester CCs qualification tells you of their improvement. Manager Mike Jones said “Make no mistake this is not a game we will be taking lightly. We got caught out against GM Hurricanes in our first group match but had time to bounce back. In knockout football that’s not the case and we will have to be at our best to beat this Manchester CC team”.
With a 10:00 kick off set make sure you get to Turn Moss and cheer on the team as they seek to progress through to quarter finals
