Match Report NMJFC U8s - 17/10/26
Sat 17 Oct 2026 11:15 Adswood United U8 -v- New Mills Juniors U8 Venue: THE MIKE DOYLE CENTRE Despite the spout of illness in the team and the never-ending roadworks surrounding the venue, NMJFC U7's had a full squad of 9 for this fixture against a team they haven't faced before. With a full squad we knew game time would the priority, so we started with: Charlie in goal, Angus & Tobias in defence, Henry the glue in midfield, bonding Ollie & Seb as our forward 2. The game chan
Match Report NMJFC U14s V Bollington U14s 17.10.26 New Mills Juniors 5-3 Bollington
A last-minute change of venue this week due to Bollington's home ground being double-booked gave New Mills the home advantage. First half it was Bollington who started the brightest, not allowing the Millers to settle into the game, and quickly found themselves in front with New Mills failing to clear the lines. However, this didn't phase the lads and it seemed to spur them on more! It was looking like it was going to be one of those days as they struggled to find the back of
Match Report NMJFC U12 Girls vs Mountfield Rovers U12 Panthers – Away 10/10/2026
What a performance from the girls today as they faced a strong opponent of Mountfield Rovers! In goal, Millie was outstanding, making a number of important saves to keep us in the game. She looked confident and composed throughout, giving the girls real reassurance at the back. Evie and Stevie worked tirelessly in defence, producing excellent blocks and well-timed tackles to frustrate the opposition. Our wing-backs, Ava and Annabella, were equally impressive. Ava pushed forwa

Match Report NMJFC U9s Vipers - 10/10/26
Another week and new opponents for this season for the Vipers up against Hazel Grove Hornets. Nearly a full squad for the Vipers just Alistair unavailable but hopefully he’ll be back for next week’s game. Focus this week was on being confident on the ball, get control, make your decision, pass/run/shoot. The team looked confident on the ball and did very well during the game with their passing and positioning. Big well done to Freddie who won Player of the Match trophy this w

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
