Everton Smashes Mini-Derby Dreams


In a twist straight out of a football comic, Liverpool U18s ended their Star Wars saga of a season with a 3-0 whopper of a loss to the rivaling space cowboys of Everton! Under the cosmic watch of head coach Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, who was parting ways with the club this summer, the young Reds found themselves in the middle of an alien invasion on the pitch at Kirkby. Before anyone could say ‘Chewbacca,’ George Morgan and Braiden Graham blasted laser shots in the first half, securing a 2-0 advantage at intermission. Kablammo!

The wounded Reds had their secret weapon, Rio Ngumoha, a Chelsea transfer ninja summoned last summer, but his early strike attempts danced across the goal like an opera produced by jellybeans. Not to mention Josh Sonni-Lambie, the season’s surprise package, who zigzagged like a ferret on caffeine but couldn’t unlock the vault of Everton’s defense! With 68 minutes gone, Harvey Foster decided to add one more insult to the injury, summoning a meteor goal for a 3-0 triumph. The curtain closed on Bridge-Wilkinson’s last act, leaving Liverpool U18s sitting just above the basement duo of the Under-18 Premier League North that is Nottingham Forest and Leeds United.

Coach Marc, the man with a decade-long saga at Liverpool, spoke with a splash of emotion that could water a garden. Reflecting on his time at the academy, he expressed Titanic levels of gratitude towards Alex Inglethorpe and Nick Marshall for putting their betting chips on him! Like a wise wizard, he hopes to follow the career journeys of the younglings he’s mentored in galactic football magic. Although his next adventure remains wrapped in mystery, one thing’s for sure: his Liverpool legacy is as enchanting as a unicorn juggling flaming footballs on a unicycle. The Bridge to future wonders awaits!
