Leek Town
On the route of this Final, Leek have shown that they know how to score goals with all of their matches being 3-0 wins. The fact they also kept a clean sheet in all of their Senior Challenge Cup fixtures is impressive as it shows that they are not only a side that can score goals, but can defend well too. Leek current find themselves in the Northern Premier League fighting at the top of the table. One of Leek’s stand out historic achievements was making it to the FA Trophy Final in 1989/90 season and being the only team to win the Staffordshire County League undefeated. They are a team that knows how to win and will be ones to watch as they look at add their second Senior Challenge Cup trophy to their cabinet, their first coming back in 1996 when they beat Newcastle Town 4-3.

Under his guidance, they are currently playing in the Southern League Premier Central and are in 5th place. On this route to the final, although receiving a walkover in the 2nd Round, they’ve proven they deserve to be in this Senior Challenge Cup Final as they went on to beat their next two opponents by scoring 6 goals in both. This final is looking like there will be goals and Rushall will be wanting those goals to go in their favour. Rushall will want to add this trophy to their cabinet and see their season finish with a piece of domestic silverware and having their names back on the list of winners as they haven’t won the trophy since 2016.
