U14s v Norbury

First game in a month for the U14 boys! In a re-arranged game against Norbury, it took our boys a while before they looked awake really, but they still didn't let Norbury get much of a look-in.
With a volley of goals in the last quarter, another victory for the U14s.
Final Score - Norbury 3 : Stockport 13
Quarter scores:  0-2 / 0-3 / 3-1 / 0-7
Next fixture : to be advised...

I know the ground's soft, but...!

Over in the first minutes of the game

Tall defending against small!

save for Ben

Hang onto it!

Almost!

Out of my way!

Longpoles go for the groundball

On your head!

Goal for Thomas!

On its way in for Mike

Catch that hovering ball!

Headcheck in front of the ref! (no, it wasn't called!)

Tick, you're on!

Bottom right for Ed

I'll hold him off while you scoop it up

Needless push-in-the-back!

Don't just stare at it!

Surrounded. Spot the ball!

U12's versus Wilmslow


U12's away at Wilmslow

8th February 2014

Wilmslow  vs  Stockport

6 : 8







I wouldn't want to be standing in front of Matthew right now........



William ready to face off....



Crunchhh.....this was the start of what was at times quite a physical game, many of the Wilmslow players out sizing our lads, but our skill and perseverance paid off in the end....




The beginning of what turned out to be a big day for Aaron, here  in hot pursuit....



Are you looking at me !! - Ben gets eye-balled by a trio of bigger boys...



Another hard tackle - on Matthew this time...




Luca guards the crease....



Easy now !   this is not the sort of ball control you were taught in training !!!
GOAL ! - Matthew turns to celebrate after shooting this one in the net.




 Marley on Face Off .





Luke looking very casual as he strolls  over for the stick check.






Someone has lost the ball here ??!!





Heads ! It looks like Luke is about to swat someone ! 

(in reality Luke put in a crunching check on this guys stick - who said the camera never lies...) 



 And now for Camerons goal,
(which had us all wondering how he threaded the ball through all those players, and scored from a ridiculously tight angle......................).
Ball just crossing the line....

Cameron realises he's scored the goal.........well done buddy !






Luke hassling the ball carrier, never give up !






Clear down the pitch..






Crunchh,  but this time Matthew sends him flying....



Aaron comes in from the side.......poke check ?!



Marley and Ben about to do a number on this chap............. probably best to get rid !!



Caption Option (take your pick)

Looks like the captains lost the plot,  I thought Matthew had quite a good game !!

OR

Spot the ball ???

(just behind Luca's upper leg)




Just taking a few well earned zzzeds...











......oh! wide awake, and he's just remembered he's scored his first goal for Stockport, well done Aaron.
(sorry I missed my shot of your goal)

U12's Cup Match versus Timperley 'A'


U12's Cup Match

1st February 2014

Timperley 'A' vs Stockport

10 : 9

WELL PLAYED STOCKPORT - BUT NO CIGAR !


The boys played hard and took an early lead, things were looking good, but by the third quarter we were neck and neck and trading goals, and then in the final stages of the final quarter Timperley took the lead.
- a frantic last 2 minutes could not quite see us equalise.

Top performance boys - blighted once again by the narrowest of margins 
WELL DONE Stockport, ....next time.









Tension in the Air, ready for the off........








Early shot on goal  from Cameron (he is out of frame to the right) - number 29 looks on (sorry can't identify you - not your team shirt ???)




      Come on do the Conga, la..la,.....la..la.












Will he fall over or won't he...



Cameron, just visible, shoots and scores...



Cameron, only just in the frame, shoots and scores again, it must be that lucky No.29...




Dan looking to clear the ball.





Marleys off up the pitch.









....and now for a close up.



Danny catapults this one in the net....Goal


.......see what I mean about lucky No.29, who is that boy....




I don't think he has much chance of winning this face off.



Rhys covers Cameron after a shot on goal - not sure if this one went in - must have done - look lucky No.29.








Matias in a bind, but the flick away just didn't work.


Matias aims and shoots.......

....and its in the back of the net....GOAL !!





Cameron scores and turns to celebrate.





Matias, down but not out, Marley gives chase.....







This chap might just get a tap on the shoulder.....


...Dan in hot pursuit.
