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

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

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!

Boston United 7 v 0 GTACFC White
Barton Inclusive 2 v 1 GTACFC white

GTACGC Black
After a shaken start to the season last tournament GTACFC had a full strength side out with a point to prove. The Blacks won every game dominating possession and being very clinical in from of goal. The title retention is back on.

GTACFC White
A difficult day for our newly promoted side from the Championship division with them loosing all 3 game they are facing a tough battle this season. Despite the results the team did create chances built just could not convert them. They should have won their game against Barton Inclusive, but Luck was just not on their side. Lots of positives to take from the day into the next tournament.

League 1 Division

Barton Inter 0–1 GTACFC Red
GTACFC Red 0–2 Bottesford Tow
Lincoln United 1–1 GTACFC Red
GTACFC 0–1 Barton Hull

GTACFC Red
Grimsby Town produced a spirited set of performances, opening with a disciplined win over Barton Inter before falling 2–0 to a clinical Bottesford side. They showed resilience to earn a 1–1 draw with Lincoln United and pushed hard in a narrow final defeat to Barton Hull. Finishing with one win, one draw, and two close losses, Grimsby impressed with strong defending and tidy link-up play but will look to be more ruthless in front of goal

League 2 Division

GTACFC Yellow 2-0 GTACFC Grey
Boston United 3-0 GTACFC Grey
GTACFC Gary 2-1 v Bottesford Town
GTACFC Grey1-1 Lincoln United

GTACFC Yellow 2 v 0 Bottesford Town

GTACFC Grey
Our team showed great determination earning a well deserved 2-1 win and a hard fought 1-1 draw. However we did suffer a 2-0 and 3-0 defeat to strong opposition. We created plenty of chances in every match and earned valuable experience that will help us tighten up the defence.

GTACFC Yellow
This Sunday marked the beginning for Grimsby Town Ability Counts Yellow. After a nervy start in the first game against Lincoln United, the Yellows edged a narrow 0-1 deafeat to Lincoln United. In the teams’ second game they looked for redemption against our other Grimsby Town side in an all Grimsby tie. The game finished 2-0 to the Yellows. This sparked a great run which saw the Yellows victorious in their next two games, finishing strongly beating both Bottersford Town and Boston United 2-0 to end the day with Three wins and one loss for the Yellows. This ended a brilliant day with team spirit and cohesion sky-high.

GTACFC Kick Off 2025/26 Lincolnshire Ability Counts League Campaign

On Sunday 31st August, Grimsby Town Foundation’s Ability Counts teams began their 2025/26 Lincolnshire Ability Counts League campaign at the LNER Stadium, Lincoln. It was a day of mixed results but plenty of positives, with all squads showing spirit, teamwork, and excitement for the season ahead.

Premiership Teams

Our Premiership sides had a challenging but promising start, winning half of their games while narrowly losing the others. Goalkeeper Ricky stood out with some unreal saves, keeping the team in the fight and showing exactly why he’s such a key figure between the posts.

League One – A Flying Start

The League One squad couldn’t have asked for a better opening to the season. They scored an incredible 21 goals across four matches, with goals coming from Ben, Josh, Jack, and even goalkeeper Thomas Jones, who found himself on the scoresheet!

Equally impressive was the team’s defensive effort—not conceding a single goal all tournament thanks to some resilient and disciplined play at the back. A dream start for the squad.

League Two – Building Momentum

Our League Two team also got their season underway, picking up a win, a draw, and two narrow losses. With several debutants making their first-ever appearances for the club, it was a proud moment for the players and coaches alike, showing plenty of promise for the season ahead.

The opening weekend highlighted the growth, passion, and determination across all of our GTACFC squads. With new players joining and every team showing heart on the pitch, the 2025/26 season is shaping up to be another exciting campaign.
