U12s Stockport vs Timperley Oct 19th

U12s Stockport v Timperley

A dry but overcast morning greeted us as the U12 boys visited Timperley for this eagerly anticipated fixture on the AstroTurf. Their 52 was playing with dispensation but both squads had good numbers

Q1.

Timperley started brightly and the 52 scored. Stockport seemed to get to grips with the pitch better and Tom soon had a good shot that went just wide. Effective play from Freddie and Tom levelled the score. 52 was sent off for a slash. More good work by Stockport led to a fine goal by Tom. This was followed by good defensive work by Josh and Archie. Timperley came back with two further goals. The quarter finished with a great goal by Henry. 4. 4

Q2.

Stockport started this quarter strongly and a combination between Tom/Freddie/Henry led to a good goal followed by a furtherimpressive solo goal by Henry to take the score to 4-6. Timperley 52 responded quickly with a goal to take it to 5-6. This was turning into a great game of sport with end to end action. More good defensive work from Stockport kept Timperley at bay and a good shot by Jacob just missed by a whisker. 52 scored again to end the quarter. 6.6

Q3.

A fine start by Stockport saw Ethan score. Effective and solid defensive work by Stockport was followed by yet another goal. This time a fine solo effort by Ethan to take it to 6-8. Good defensive work from Euan and pressure from Stockport led to a goal from Henry. Tom followed with a shot that ricoched off the post but Timperley responded to make it 7-9. Good keeping from the Timperley keeper halted Stockport from opening up a bigger lead. There was really good action from both sides again. With 3 minutes to go, Henry scored again but Timperley 52 scored just at the end of the quarter. 6.10

Q4.

Again the quarter started brightly with Tom scoring to make it 8-11. At this point Stockport were dominant however, Timperley got back into the game with another goal to make it 9-11. A big moment in the game followed, with Jacob getting his first goal. The large Stockport crowd went wild and his Dad was seen leaping around like a gazelle. With just a few minutes to go, Timperley took the lead with 3 fine goals! Then about a minute to go Timperley took the lead but the game wasn’t over...Stockport fought back with a smashing goal from Dan to make the final score 13-13 all.

A fine game played in a good spirit. Sport at its very best! 

U14s Travel to Heaton Mersey

With a delayed face off time of 11.15, to accommodate the opportunity for the boys to watch the Rugby World Cup Final.

With limited time for a warm up, our game got underway quickly, and efficiently with Mersey looking in better shape than the last time we played them.  Winning at Face and moving the ball around our defence, but without any incisive play on goal, the defence were patient, waiting for their moment and seizing the ball.  Straight down the other end and we were one up.  Following this we were a little more decisive at face, and went on to register a 0-5 quarter for the boys in Blue.

Q2 was similar, with our defence being strong and patient and the once we gained possession we moved quickly with a good deal of excellence in front of goal, and a 1-4 quarter leaving ourselves 1-9 up at half time.

With lots of players getting game time, an coaches rotating the squad to great effect we finished the game with a 0-3 and a 1-3 quarter leaving us 2-15 to the good.

Stats to share, courtesy of 'Steve Statto', 15 goals from 25 shots, 5 different scorers Jay, Hugo (6), Rhys (4), Joel (2), Luca (2) and 4 assists, with a strong D creating 13 Take Away's.
