Merseyside Shield final
by Educate Magazine May 11, 2015 · Gallery
A hard fought and gripping final saw Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School Under 15s clinch the Merseyside Junior Shield after a 2-1 win over St Margaret’s Church of England Academy at the Liverpool Soccer Centre in Walton Hall Park. A goal in each half from Jacob Shield and Liam Riley was enough to secure the trophy for Cardinal Heenan, despite a late rally from Margaret’s who grabbed a consolation goal through Isaac Kamara.
St Margaret’s tried desperately to add to their recent Liverpool Cup win but Cardinal Heenan proved too strong and ran out worthy winners.
St Margaret’s Academy will get another chance to lift some silverware in what has so far been an unforgettable season for the team when they compete for the ESFA National PlayStation Schools’ Under 15 Cup at Reading FC’s Madejski Stadium on 20 May.
