Maryport crowned champions in Conway Cup

Maryport Athletic won the first piece of silverware on offer in the Cumberland County League on Friday night when they were crowned champions of the Conway Cup after a 2-1 victory against Keswick.

In a match at Borough Park in Workington, goals from Logan Bosward and Ethan Weir helped Maryport lift what they hope will be their first trophy of the season.

Andy Frampton grabbed the goal for Keswick who were playing in their third cup final since joining the Cumberland County League in the summer of 2023.

Maryport, who are still unbeaten in the league and aiming to retain the Premier Division title, are also still in all the county league’s cup competitions remaining and will be aiming to end the season with as many trophies possible.
