NEW MILLS JUNIORS FC

Great to play a different opponent this week, and a familiar one in Whaley Reds. Good to catch up with the coaches and discuss how the last few months have unfolded for each team. We had a full house, minus Alfie today, so we were down to one sub……. It was touch and go before kick off whether we had a full team as due to outside influences a few were running late. We kicked off with David standing strong between the goalposts, superb from the young man to adopt his second pos

Another 9am kick off meant another early goal conceded (clearly the girls don’t do early games😂). Despite the bad start the girls put in a great performance against top of the league Kingsway First half was was generally all New Mills but we just couldn’t score. Emily, Esmee, & Brooke all came close and we thought it was one of those games. Last minute of the half and we get a free kick, from distance Brooke steps up and smashes it top corner. What a goal !

A bright, dry day for the late kick off at Didsbury High School. There was a chill in the air, but otherwise great conditions for football. The parents did a great job getting the kids to the venue on time, giving the coaches eight U7's: Alfred, Angus, Charlie, Henry, Joseph, Louie, Ollie & Seb. There was a good time to warm up, a team chat before the game, and the goalkeepers selected, Louie for the 1 st  half & Charlie for the 2 nd  , both very competent between the sticks.
