The final of the Dutchman Cup saw Shore Villa take the trophy after a very hard-fought encounter versus the gallant New Brighton Town team who were playing in their first ever final, as the game went to a penalty shoot-out, with Villa keeping their nerves to win 3-2. This after Town had opened the scoring in the first half through Greg Williams, but Sonny Croft replied before the break. Williams then restored Town’s lead in the second half but a goalmouth scramble with ten minutes remaining saw Sam Range level the scores which took the final into the dreaded penalty syndrome. Both teams selected a player of the match from the opposition and saw Michael McCullough get Villa’s and Ellis Lamb got the award for Town.

Cammell Laird 1907 FC entertained Alsager Town in their last league fixture of a turbulent season, but claimed the points in a battling performance that had a dramatic ending to the game.

Following on from their midweek encounter away to Ashville, where they could have easily won due to having the majority of possession and missing some golden chances, with Aiden Cooper and Nathan Johnston playing exceptionally well, but had to settle for a 0-0 draw with again having a stand-in keeper with Dom Hoppe only being troubled twice in the fixture that ended goalless.

Midweek saw Lairds fall heavily against an average Droylsden team due to slack defending and missed opportunities that could have made a massive a difference, instead of being on the end of a 4-0 defeat.

An entertaining and full blooded Wirral District FA Senior Cup semi final between Cammell Laird 1907 FC and Vauxhall Motors reserves took place at the KRCT Stadium on Tuesday 5th March and was eventually decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Yet again the council closed all grass facilities on a Thursday which resulted many games to be postponed and causing a backlog of league fixtures and cup competitions to be delayed.

Cammell Laird 1907 FC ended their barren run with a superb battling display in the North West Counties First Division South when entertaining play-off hopefuls Sandbach United, which saw a magnificent performance by their back four of Ludbroook, Drummond, Graham and Beaman as they put in man of the match displays.

Cammell Laird 1907 FC's first team got back to league action as they entertained Abbey Hulton United but could not get the win to take them out of the bottom three of the North West Counties First Division South.

Wirral DFA Junior Cup action saw two teams progress into the last four of the competition, but two teams were eliminated.
