Match Report NMJFC U14s - 25/09/22
NMJFC U14s 6 - 1 HAZEL GROVE JETS
First game of the new season for our U14s and what a cracker it was!
Having a depleted squad compared to previous years, new players and a new coach join the set up and seeing their first scheduled fixture drawn against last seasons league and cup winners, mentally this may have put some off.
The team turned up with fantastic attitudes, warmed up well and started the game with determination and high energy and proved their greatness taking the lead within the first 5 minutes of kick off.
With New Mills holding much of the posession in the first half another two goals followed before the ref blew his whistle for half time.
Some lovely football from all thirds of the pitch throughout the whole game.
Jake was effective in goal making clear and decisive decisions with good hands in a few fast reaction clearances.
The last line of protection of Jack, Joe, Josh, Niamh & Jaiden showed composure, calmness and discipline keeping the opponents attackers at bay for much of the game.
The midfielders and forwards of Tofty, Liam, George, Theo, Alfie & Archie worked tirelessly on and off the ball creating many opportunities using their strength along with their skills thwarting any chance of the opposition getting through, sometimes in heated contest.
3 further goals from New Mills and one from the opposition in the second half saw our U14s comfortably take their first 3 points of the season.
Lots of positives from today😀
The building of new partnerships was a joy to watch in this game. Players swapping positions, learning to trust their team mates to do the job and back each other up where necessary makes for a great TEAM.
Proud of you kids!
