MATCH REPORT NMJU8 16th December
It was an 11:30 kick off our our last game of 2023, at Brinnington in the Stockport Metro Junior League.
After a good string of results to start the season, we have been moved to a new group.
Today’s match was against Buxton Young Bucks White. We had played them a few weeks back and had lost the game in the last few minutes so today the boys were well up for putting the record straight.
We were still missing Jackson, but all others were fighting fit.
We started with James as first half goalkeeper, Charlie T in defence, Stanley and Teddy in midfield and for a change we had Rhys as striker.
The boys started well moving the ball around completing some great passes, and soon launching attacks.
Our first goal of the day came from Rhys, who forced an own goal from a well taken corner kick.
Just when we were about to start making changes Teddy got one on one with the keeper and made it 2.
With Charlie T covering well at the back and James keeping any attacks out, the boys were playing some wonderful football with huge smiles on their faces. It was only going to be a matter of time before Stanley got his first goal of the day, and after we added Charlie J in the mix, he also got his name on the goal sheet.
The boys came into the break beaming, however we knew from the last time that the young bucks were very capable of launching a come back and taking the game from us again.
A change of goalkeeper with Charlie T taking a turn, and James taking his place in defence.
They soon both had their work cut out as the young bucks came out fast moving the ball well and launching attacks.
There were a few moments where we looked like we were hanging on, but the boys all worked well, coming back to defend as a pack, and launching a few counters which Stanley converted into more goals.
Another superb performance from the boys today, arguably there best yet ! There was no way we could pick a player of the match so another full team award it was.
