The first L&C Cup Fial of the season is scheduled for Wednesday 16th April 2025, where Rochdalians and Stretford Paddock Amateurs meet to decide the winners of the Wray Cup at the excellent facilities of West Didsbury and Chorlton FC, with a 7.30pm kick-off.
Once again, admission is FREE to enable as many people as possible to attend, and especially the family and friends of all the players involved and our match officials.
This season, the L&C will be linking up with local charities and our Cup Finals will become opportunities to raise awareness and fundraising as we look to raise the level of community engagement.
Please support Francis House and give anything you can to support their great work.
Francis House is a lifeline to more than 600 families from across Greater Manchester, where we provide high levels of clinical care to the families of children and young adults with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. We describe ourselves as a home away from home, and ensure that we are with the families through their good days, their tough days and their last days.
The majority of our support comes from charitable donations, and each year it costs £4.8 million to keep our doors open. You can donate directly to Francis House either by calling our office on 0161 443 2200, or visiting the following link: https://www.francishouse.org.uk/get-involved/donate/donate-online/.
Both Rochdalians and Stretford Paddock Amateurs have enjoyed excellent seasons in Division Two, with Paddock edging the head-to-head meetings, the teams drawing 3-3 in Rochdale on
the opening day of the season, but winning the return fixture 3-0 at the Openshaw Campus.
Freescoring Rochdalians have lost only once since October, with Paddock unbeaten in seven, both losses at the hands of Santos.
The Final looks likely to be an entertaining and high-scoring affair, the two teams have scored 137 goals between them in the League and two of the Divisions leading scorers in Lewis ALTIMAS (left) of Rochdalians on 34 goals and Kristian WALL of Stretford Paddock on 17 goals.
