The Colin Newall Memorial Cup was held as a pre-season friendly between Stoneclough AFC and Tempest United FC on July 25, in tribute to the much-loved club stalwart.
"Colin would have loved it, he loved football, he’d have been absolutely made up for there to be a cup named after him!"
Colin was laid to rest in November last year after his death the previous October, with a minute's silence in his honour held at the time by Stoneclough AFC.
The first ever cup ultimately went to Stoneclough after a hard-won game against Tempest United FC, which Colin had also had an association with, which went down to a penalty shootout.
The Colin Newall Memorial Cup will now take place every year right before the start of the football season in honour of the former reserve team manager.
