U14s Host Mellor

In recent times, there is (arguably) no better game than an U14s game between Mellor and Stockport.  Both teams are strong, with a good number of Metro players within their ranks.  They are both coached well, and both believe in playing good lacrosse, and both are capable of winning this fixture.
It was then a little surprising that this was a scrappy affair, with a little less flowing lacrosse, but a more physical encounter, and quite a few contested ground balls.
Tactics were on show today, with both teams knowing  each other well, both sets of coaches were looking to nullify the oppositions threat but it was an intriguing game to watch.
The game started, with Stockport winning the face and then dominating the face thereafter, and a couple of wasted opportunities allowed Mellor to go down the other way and get the first goal of the morning, soon to be followed by a solo effort giving them a 2 goal lead.  Stockport did manage to get 1 back before the break.
Don't know what it is about Q2, but the previous weeks we have dominated in this quarter, and today was no different.  A strong forward thinking passage of play, and Rhys on fire in front of goal this was definitely a quarter for the boys in blue.  A surging 5-1 quarter in our favour.
Q3 and Q4 were much tighter, with an injury to Cameron the other boys were strong throughout, with a 2-1, and a 2-2 quarter.
10 goals, Rhys (6), Hugo (2), Will H (2) and 7 assists Hugo (3), Joel, Luca, Cameron and Aaron with one of his surging runs he fed Rhys on the crease. 
10-6 on the day, and a well fought victory, perhaps not a classic but a victory none the less.
