Shifnal beat Marseille

Success at Shifnal Town seems to be contagious. Hot on the heels of the Phoenix Park club winning the Midland Alliance League Cup, the veterans team returned from a tournament in Italy with another trophy.

Managed by Tony Pearce they won the ‘Trofeo Delfinio’ in Rimini with two victories putting the icing on the cake.

They won their semi-final 4-0 against Olympic Marseille vets and the final 3-1 against Trollesport of Italy.

Shifnal also ended up with the golden boot award winner as striker Mark Comerford finished as the tournament’s top scorer with seven goals.
