4/11/2025

Odiaxere travelled to Quarteira to compete in the inaugural Dave ' Geordie' Urwin Memorial Cup Mini-Tournament organised by Quarteirense Walking Football as a tribute to one of their players who passed away recent.

The opening game saw Odiaxere come away 1-0 winners against Quarteirense 'A' with a goal from Mike C.

The second game was against a strong Calne Town team, who managed to win 1-0.

The final game in the 'Round-Robin' section was against Quarteirense 'B', with Odiaxere coming away with a 4-0 win thanks to another from Mike C, one from Glenn Harrold and a brace from Dave Ritchie.

Quarteirense 'A' and 'B' played a 3rd/4th Play-Off match, before Odiaxere again faced up to Calne Town in the final.

Calne Town took the lead in the first half with an excellent goal into the top right corner, but Odiaxere came back strong in the second half and got an equaliser through Mike, to take the final to a penalty shoot-out.

Calne stepped up first but put the ball wide, before Glenn Harrold made it 1-0 to Odiaxere. Despite Calne's second penalty taker shooting low and right, Odiaxere's goalkeeper, John Munro got down swiftly to block the shot, which then left Mike to score Odiaxere's second penalty and win the shoot-out and Cup for Odiaxere and the Golden Boot Award for himself.
