Joint winners of the Martha Mandryk Trophy
By Debbie Taylor

The two team captains were awarded the Martha Mandryk trophy after a close fought game either side could have won.

FC United got the opener from a corner when Connor Jennings sliced his clearance into his own net, but immediately had equality when Greg Wilkinson had the freedom of the park to pick his spot in the FC United box. When Jennings was tripped in the box, Phil Marsh took the spot kick, making no mistake.

FC United had a couple of goals disallowed, either side of the interval, and got the equaliser just after the hour when Dan Jackson in the Celtic goal couldn't hold a cross under pressure, and former Celt Nicky Platt latched onto the loose ball, and slotted home.
