First Silverware

The game, filled with anticipation, witnessed a delayed kickoff due to unexpected crowd congestion. In a dramatic turn of events, Stretford Paddock secured victory in a penalty shootout, lifting the Tony Downes Memorial Cup. This win, against a team that once held a notable position in the Northern Premier League, added the first silverware to Stretford Paddock's story.[9]
