Today’s match, as we’re finding increasingly common now, was a strong all-round team performance, built on confidence growing steadily through the match. Paige started in goal looking a little nervous at first, she quickly settled and grew into the game with real composure. She pulled off some excellent saves at key moments and distributed the ball brilliantly, setting the tone for the team’s attacking play.

Match Report NMJFC U14s v Diversity U14s - 12/04/26
The Millers started this tense semi cup final well, creating several good attacks but lacking the cutting edge to score. Archie commanded the back line well and made several good saves to keep the visitors at bay, helped by strong defensive work from Alex, Alfie, Stan and Cole. The Millers’ clearest chance of the half fell to Bobby as Darragh crossed from the left, and Bobby looked certain to score, but the Diversity keeper made an outstanding save to keep it all square at th

Today’s match felt like it contained an entire year’s worth of seasons packed into one hour. One moment the pitch was bathed in sunshine, the next it was rattled by sharp, stinging hailstones, with a bitter cold settling over everything in between. Despite the chaos of the weather and the challenge of being down to just seven players, the girls showed real determination and spirit, rising to the occasion with a performance full of effort and teamwork. At the back, Marha stood

Match report U13 Girls vs Alderley United - 29/03/26
Strong winds, rain and hail made this a really difficult game to play in (and watch 😂). We were also missing a few players however the girls put in a great performance to record a good win. Kicking into the wind first half was tough and the girls went a goal down early on. However they responded well and were the better team as the half went on. Equaliser came from Emily who finished well one on one with the keeper. Shortly after we were ahead, more good work from Emily resu

MATCH REPORT NMJU10’s 21st March 2026
Today the U10s faced Hazel Grove Jets in their second match of the Vernon Trophy event. New Mills were missing James, Pavak and Stanley, but it was great to welcome Alfie back after a few weeks out. He selflessly stepped in as goalkeeper, with Charlie T and Rhys in defence, Teddy, Charlie J and Jackson in midfield, and Dylan leading the line. The Jets started quickly, and New Mills were unfortunate to fall behind within the opening minutes. However, once the boys settled, the

She came out bravely to claim the ball when needed and made a number of strong, important saves that kept our girls in the game. Just as importantly, she showed great awareness, knowing when to let the ball run for a goal kick rather than taking unnecessary risks. Her distribution was

It was a silent week for the girls’ match this time around, with parents and supporters stepping back and letting the team problem-solve for themselves. The quiet touchline created a brilliant opportunity for the girls to communicate, make decisions, and rely on each other, and it was a real joy to watch their teamwork and determination unfold throughout the game. Paige started in goal and delivered a really strong performance. Whilst a little nervous at first, there was a qu

The Millers made several changes for this game to both the team shape and the personnel used for the fixture. Stan covered for Archie in goal, with Bobby covering for Alfie. Daniel came in at centre-back to partner Bobby, and Greeny came in to partner Mayson up top. The Millers started the game well and were dominating midfield through India and Jess.

The boys started with James in goal, Rhys and Charlie T in defence, Stanley, Charlie J and Jackson in midfield, with Dylan leading the line as striker. The opening 10 minutes were a little scrappy, with nerves showing on both sides as each team struggled to find that final touch.
