LDV Vans Trophy results We all got wumped today! The Calgary Storm's adopted club, Hereford United, did quite well, taking a Division Two club into extra time, but what a way to give the three points away. Scarbrough (adopted by the Toronto Lynx) also went to overtime, eventually losing to Doncaster in the 22nd minute of extra time. Southport's star striker Steve Whiteall scored a hat-trick for the Sandgrounders, but unfortunately it wasn't enough, as they went on to lose 4-3 to lowly Conference strugglers Leigh RMI, thanks to an own-goal. Kind of funny, really, as Southport (adopted by the Vancouver Whitecaps) beat Leigh in league action by a scoreline of 6-0 just the other week! But what a day for the Montreal Impact's Morecambe... travelling to Third Division club Shrewsbury Town (who have a stadium named "Gay Meadows") and getting routed 3-0. Betcha they wished they picked Margate instead!
