City of Liverpool will face 1874 Northwich on Saturday in the
Reusch Champions Cup final before embarking on a fresh challenge
after sealing promotion last season.
The traditional curtain raiser of the NWCFL season sees the
Premier Division winners face the Macron Cup holders.
Paul Manning, chairman of COL, has told of the club's journey in
the NWCFL, saying, "Our club lives on the Purple Rollercoaster.
It has been drama all the way; ups, downs, wins, losses, cup
finals and everything in between.
"Our first ever NWCFL home league game, we were 2-1 down in
injury time and somehow came back to win 3-2!"
The club achieved a treble in their first campaign, including
winning the Macron Cup and the First Division play-off final to
gain promotion.
Paul describes it as an 'unbelievable' season, particularly
noted for their final four fixtures.
"Simon Burton and the players pulled an unbelievable end to that
first season out of the hat," he added. "Our final four fixtures
were Final, Semi Final, Final, Final – it was insane – We won
the Macron Cup final with 9 men on penalties!
"We shouldn’t really be surprised that after being top of the
league since September, we went into the final game in 2nd place
after Bootle’s unbelievable 20 game winning run and then
leapfrogged them back into first place.
