Dads v Lads game and Annual Presentation Evening 2013

A great evening with an excellent turnout for the annual end-of-season awards evening and Dads v Lads match.
The game was played in good spirit by all the willing participants - although there were a couple of 'ringers' helping on the Retros side.... (you know who you are!).  It could be this advantage that gave the Retros their first real win in a few years with the final score being about 3 to the Boys and 4 to the Dads/Retros.
Well played to all those involved!

Moving inside for the presentation - this year's awards went to the following players:

U12s:
Most Improved Player - James Fletcher
Most Valuable Player - Danny Hilditch

U14s:
Most Improved Player - Adam Walton
Most Valuable Player - Edward Hilditch

U16s:

Post season friendly v Mellor

To keep us all going before the Flags, we arranged a friendly game with Cup Finalists, Mellor.
It was a good game - especially for them! - although we didn't play at our best really.  Great spirit by both sides and a good start to the 'off' season.
Good luck in the Final Mellor!

Final Score:  Stockport 3 : Mellor 15
Quarter scores:  0-3 / 0-4 / 2-5 / 1-3

Next 'fixture' : Dads v Lads (Fri 26th April)!

Kneeling hover?!!
