Two teams from St Joseph’s contested the final of the Cumberland FA Walking Football’s annual Marsh and Quay Cup Competition.
They were among eight sides who contested the event which was held at Lakes College, Lillyhall, near Workington.
Players had travelled from across the county and beyond to take part – CUFC Green, CUFC Blue, Millom Ironworks, Gretna, Queen of the South and Whitehaven Strollers were among those taking part.
The two group stages were close affairs with plenty of good football played before the semi-finalists were decided.
In the first semi-final, Workington St Joseph’s Reds and Gretna played out a 0-0 draw before the Reds won on penalties.
In semi-final two, Workington St Joseph’s Blue and CUFC Blue was also goalless. St Joseph’s Blue eventually won on penalties but it went to ‘sudden death’.
An all-Workington St Joseph’s final saw the Reds defeat the Blues 2-0 to retain the cup in a closely fought match. They had won the trophy for a second successive year.
Ray Sempill, Cumberland FA football development officer, said: “We’d like to say a huge thanks to all the teams who entered the first Cup competition of the 2024 season, which was played in a fantastic spirit!
“Focus returns next month to the league programme, but there is always opportunities for new teams to join us along the way with friendly fixtures organised when needed.”
