1874 NORTHWICH have won the North West Counties League’s Challenge Cup for the first time thanks to Aaron Smith’s late goal against City of Liverpool.
The midfielder forced a loose ball over the line with time running out to secure a victory for his side against the Premier Division champions.
They had to survive a frenzied recovery by the Purps, during which Paul Williams’ header struck the crossbar and goalkeeper Tony Aghayere reacted brilliantly to deny replacement Danny Dalton, before celebrating wildly with their supporters.
