Match Report NMJFC U9 Vipers - 03/10/26
What a game of football it was this week for the Vipers. They have started the season in tremendous form playing some great team football. This week against a fantastic Inter Cheadle East team the Vipers faced a stern test. They rise to every challenge and did their best to rise to this one too. We didn't have a full squad with Freddie & Leo unavailable, but the rest of the squad played magnificent together. We had Lily and Thomas playing new positions with great enthusias
Match Report NMJFC U11s v Whaley Bridge Blues - 04/10/26
The boys were up early for an 8:15am kick-off at Stockport Sports Village against Whaley Bridge Blues. It was Whaley Bridge who started the faster of the two sides, immediately pushing higher up the pitch and putting our defenders under pressure. We struggled in the opening stages to get the ball under control, with the wet surface making it move much quicker than the boys were used to and catching us off guard on a few occasions. Despite that, New Mills scored, with Stanley
Match Report NMJFC U12 Girls vs West Didsbury & Chorlton AFC U12 Nightha – Home 03/10/2026
There are some matches where you can feel a team growing in confidence, belief and togetherness, and this was certainly one of those occasions. Up against a team who had previously lifted our very own New Mills tournament trophy, the girls produced what was undoubtedly their strongest performance to date – and they did it with style. Annabella set the tone from the very back. Commanding her area brilliantly, she looked assured in goal and was excellent with the ball at her fe

Match Report NMJFC U9s Vipers - 26/09/26
Another week and another game for the Vipers, this week we had the pleasure of a fully available squad which was terrific to have everyone ready to play. Our current focus in training this season is on passing and moving, creating options for each other with runs of the ball and not standing still. Our aim this week was to try and keep stringing as many passes together as possible. Each week this team gets challenged and they rise to the challenge, trying their hardest to put

Match Report Manchester FA Girls County Cup U12: NMJFC U12 Girls vs Tika Taka U12 Toones - 27/09/2026
Today the girls took on a huge challenge in the Manchester FA Girls County Cup, facing a very strong intercity side playing at academy level. We knew it would be a difficult game, but despite the odds, I honestly couldn't be prouder of every single girl who stepped onto that pitch today. Florence took on the challenge in goal and showed absolutely no fear. She wasn't scared to go to the ball, made some really good saves and continued to battle right until the final whistle. S

Match Report NMJFC U8s v Great Moor Pumas U8s - 26/09/26
Another fantastic morning of football for the New Mills Juniors U8s against Great Moor Pumas! ⚽️ There were plenty of positives to take from the game, with a number of the squad really starting to get those footballing fundamentals into their heads. In particular, their understanding of shape, positioning and where they need to be on the pitch is really starting to develop, which was great to see. A special mention goes to Seb, who grabbed a hat-trick for the second week runn

Match Report NMJFC U12 Girls vs Bollington United U12 Capybaras – Away 26/09/2026
Another week and another game not to be missed. Martha took her place in net and once again showed just how cool and confident she can be between the sticks. She collected the ball brilliantly, stood equal to everything the opposition threw at her and produced some fantastic distribution. Her high balls up towards midfield were excellent and, most importantly, the girls looked confident knowing Martha was behind them. Poppy on the right and Florence at left centre-back both p

Match Report NMJFC U9 Vipers - 19/09/26
This week, the Vipers faced more familiar opponents Hazel Grove Jets Utd, who we have played the last two seasons so knew we were up against a tough, well drilled footballing side. We nearly had a full squad but unfortunately Alistair was unavailable but JJ would play his first minutes this season after his injury. We are working hard each week on passing and moving, making sure we don’t hide behind players and don’t stop working & moving. We want to help each other forwards

Match Report NMJFC U12 Girls vs Hough End Griffins Juniors U12s – Away 19/09/2026
Today brought a brand-new challenge for our girls, and one that tested not only their footballing ability, but their determination, resilience and teamwork. With Evie unable to play, we arrived at the pitch with just eight players available. That meant there would be no substitutions, no opportunity for a breather on the sidelines, and every single player would have to give everything for the full game. To make things even tougher, our opponents were no pushovers. Sitting sec

Match Report NMJFC U11’s v UK Sports Greys - 19/09/26
The U11s were back at Stockport Sports Village today, taking on UK Sports Greys. Some of the boys remembered UK Sports from when they first started out at U7, so we knew from the start that we’d have a game on our hands. The Millers started well. There were a few early nerves, but the boys quickly settled into their rhythm, passing the ball well and holding their own. It wasn’t long before we opened the scoring, and from there the confidence really started to grow. Pass after

Match Report NMJFC U11s girls V TINTWISTLE FC U11s girls - 19/09/26
Today’s game was a whole-team improvement from last week. Good energy and positivity from the start of the game! We suffered a slight energy and alertness dip at the beginning of the second half, but improved after this to the end. In the first half, both coaches, Daniel and I, felt effort, alertness and positional play were very good. We created lots of chances in the first half. Throughout the game, which we have been working on in training sessions, Daniel and I were notic

Match report for New Mills Girls Under 11s v FC Bluestar Saturday 12th September 11.30am
This was our first game of the new season. We are still in the Cheshire Girls League and, as last season, still play our games at Laurus Cheadle. As a team, 7 v 7, I feel right from the start we were full of energy and focus. All players seemed full of confidence for this game and the season ahead. As a team, all positions were being played well. Alex and Charley are both keen goalkeepers and played a half each in goal, Charley for the first half. Both were fully confident in

The second week of our season and second cup game for the Vipers, coming up against a tough Buxton team, we knew they would have to play well. With almost full team, JJ still getting back to full fitness but again came to cheer his teammates on; we welcomed Lily back for her first game of the season and Freddie for his Vipers debut. Our focus recently has been about passing the ball, not hiding behind opponents, making sure we can see our teammates and call for the ball. Last

First league game of the season for the girls was a local derby away at Hayfield. The game started as an even contest with Millie being good off her line to stop a couple of Hayfield attacks. As the game settled down the Millers started to dominate and it wasn’t long before they took the lead; Daisy scoring from a close range before grabbing her second 5 minutes later. What a debut ! At the break we asked for the same again from the girls and they delivered. New Mills complet

The first game of the season brought a new challenge for the girls as they took on the new 9-a-side format, with 30-minute halves, nine players on the team, so no substitutes. It was always going to be a test of fitness and determination, but the girls stepped up brilliantly and gave everything from the first whistle to the last.

Adswood United 3-2 New Mills Juniors This week's game was in the knockout cup, where the Millers travelled to Adswood. The lads knew this was going to be a tough fixture, but they started the game the brightest. The build-up play was good, creating good chances and not letting Adswood have time on the ball. Somewhat against the run of play Adswood took the lead, but the lads showed good character and continued to play, and this was rewarded when Max burst into the box and ca
