RESULTS | Lincolnshire Disability County Cup & Plate 🏆

A historic day for our Ability Counts teams, with one of our teams progressing to the finals of both the Plate and the Cup for the first time in the Lincolnshire Disability County Cup & Plate competitions 🤍🖤

🏆 County Plate – Morning Session

We had three teams competing in the Plate competition. The group stages were extremely tight, with teams trading wins throughout.

Our GTACFC Reds showed great resilience and consistency to finish 2nd in their group, just one point behind the group winners, with third place only one point behind them. With only the top two teams progressing, the Reds did enough to book their place in the finals 👏

🏆 County Cup – Afternoon Session

In the afternoon, we had two teams competing in the Cup competition. Both squads were heavily depleted, with players stepping up a level, so expectations were understandably modest.

• GTACFC Whites were drawn into a real group of death against some very strong opposition. The challenge proved too great on the day, but the effort and commitment shown was outstanding.

• GTACFC Blacks started strongly, winning their first three games while playing some great football. Despite losing their final group game, they topped the group and secured progression to the finals 💪

🔜 Teams Progressing to the Finals

County Cup:
• Grimsby Town Ability Counts FC Blacks
• Lincoln Invictus Vulcan
• Lincoln Invictus Reapers
• Lincoln United LGBTQ

County Plate:
• Lincoln Invictus Hawks
• Grimsby Town Ability Counts Reds
• Barton Inclusive Inter
• Boston United Positive Pilgrims B

A massive congratulations to both of our teams progressing to the finals, and to all teams who qualified. An excellent showcase of inclusive football 👏⚽

Further details regarding the Lincolnshire Disability County Cup & Plate finals will be announced over the coming weeks.

📆 Sunday the 25th of January
🏆 Lincolnshire Disability County Cup
🏟️ LNER Stadium Lincoln
⌚ 1:00pm KO

This Sunday sees the return of the Lincolnshire Disability Plate and Cup competitions for its 3rd year. All 5 of our ability counts teams will be taking part in both competitions throughout the day.

The format for the competitions is that for each of the competitions there will be two groups, each team will play each other in their respective groups, with the top two teams progressing through to the finals day later in the season.

Last season our Premiership squad (GTACFC Blacks) made it all the way to the final missing out on the Cup on penalties, and the previous year making it to the semi final. Lets hope then can go one step further this year and bring home the 🏆.

We would like to wish all our teams the best of luck for Sunday!

🎄 SEND Football Celebration! ⚽️

Yesterday we held our final SEND U16s and U12s Comets session of the year — and what a festive finish it was! Our participants enjoyed Christmas-themed activities, followed by a special gift from Grimsby Town Foundation.

It wasn’t just our participants who received a festive surprise. Thanks to the North East Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum (NELPCF), all of our parents and carers received a gift too. ❤️

We’re incredibly proud of the little SEND community we’ve built — a place where we learn, grow, and support each other. We are stronger together.

Wishing all our parents, carers, and most importantly our amazing participants a very Merry Christmas! 🎅🎁
