Match Report NMJFC U10s - 10/01/26
The U10’s kicked off 2026 with their first game of the year against Didsbury Phoenix Maroons on a very frosty afternoon at Stockport Sports Village. The boys were without Charlie J, who unfortunately broke his toe over the Christmas break, and will be out for a few more weeks but he still made the effort to come down and cheer on his teammates from the sidelines. The U10’s started brightly, but after no more than 10 minutes Dylan was forced off through injury. The luck wasn’t

Match Report NMJFC U11 Girls vs Richmond Rovers Girls U11s Tigresses 03/01/26
Fresh from the Christmas break and stepping into their first game of 2026, our girls returned to action on a cold but beautiful day that felt perfect for football. Despite the chill, there was plenty of energy and enthusiasm as play resumed, and the team looked eager to get back on the pitch. Millie started in goal and her presence immediately gave confidence to the whole team. The girls were clearly pleased to see her between the posts, and she repaid that trust with a serie

Match Report NMJFC U14s girls - Saturday 13th December
I’ll keep this one short! A big game with bare 11, away to unbeaten, top of the league Marple. What a game, what a whole team performance. What a defensive dream team! They grafted and left everything out on the field. Managed to keep Marple pretty much out of the danger zone and toughed it out with plenty of worked for opportunities. Excellent communicating throughout with shouts of mark-up, press & cover, I’ve got you! And they certainly did have each other throughout! The

Match Report - Sat 13 Dec 2025 13:40 UK Sports Oranges U7-v-New Mills Juniors U7, Venue: DIDSBURY HIGH SCHOOL
The penultimate game of the calendar year, before the Christmas break, and a venue & time change for this fixture. Didsbury High School was the venue, and a later kick-off time of 1.40 against UK Sports Oranges U7. Considering the greater distance, a sterling effort from the parents ensured New Mills had a full team ready to go well before kick-off. No Angus, Caleb, Charlie or Louie, so just six U7's for this fixture. Henry & Tobias were volunteer goalkeepers, and the opposi

Match report Middleton u14 v New Mills U14s - Presidents cup quarter final - 14/12/25
The Millers started the quarter-final brightly and took an early lead after Greg won a penalty following a clumsy challenge in the box. Bobby despatched the penalty superbly. The Millers were winning all the early battles and defending strongly, with Mayson and Fletcher doing a great job for the team in the full-back roles. Alfie and Stan marshalled the centre-back positions with confidence and assured play. Bobby and Jess worked hard as a two, and Gregory linked the play for

Match Report NMJFC U11 Scorpions v Futtymania - 14/12/25
Threat of rain… which came down for most of the game. Another game against Futtymania … the scorpions started brightly. The words from coach Jordan (who wasn’t there today) were enjoy yourselves, play with a smile . We started brightly… pushing the opposition back…., a great through ball from Frankie H saw Rocco T steam though and score a peach of a left foot goal ⚽️ (left foot Roc 👊🏻) Frankie C had to be on his toes more than once and made some great saves.

This weekend started with the sun shining and a frost in the air and our 7 girls all showed up rearing to go to play today’s opponents Richmond Rovers. We got off to a strong start with Nora in goal standing firm between the post and coming out to collect the ball with confidence. Nora’s ball distribution was on point and got the team on the front foot right from the back. The back line was made up of Elle on the left, Emily on the right and Nina down the middle. All three s

Match Report NMJFC U U11 Scorpions Vs Hayfield - 07/12/25
As the winter weeks are kicking the team is looking very different, a real hybrid of two very good teams. A big Sunday morning as the lads face off with the biggest opposition they have ever come up against….their own mentality. We asked for fire, passion and full on commitment and that’s what we got. Callum up against a winger he knows can out run him. But we saw those high knees today and were very proud of the effort put in to chase that ball down. Will pushing himself

Match report New Mills U14 v Atletico Middleton Presidents cup - 07/12/25
The Millers were in League Cup action against a team who had won all seven games played this season, so the challenge was clearly going to be a tough one on what was a tricky surface at the Rec. The Millers started the game brightly, playing some nice football but coming up against a strong opposition back line who defended their goal superbly. Atletico grew into the game and saw the woodwork rattled twice from distance with long-range efforts. The Millers battled hard from f

Match Report NMJFC U11 Girls vs Altringham FC Juniors U11s Girls Starling 06/12/25
A wet, unsettled day set the stage, with showers drifting in and out, we were also down to only 7 players at the start of the match, down to 5 by half-time, but never phased, the girls met these conditions with grit, determination and purpose. Jessica, guarding the net, delivered one of her most assured performances yet. She handled everything that came her way – one thundering shot even thumped off her chest – but she stayed composed, gathered the ball cleanly, and started

Match Report NMJFC U13s girls v Cheadle & Gatley - 06/12/25
This was a fantastic performance from the girls, without doubt their best of the season. Cheadle had beaten us earlier in the season and are a really good team with an exceptional striker, however the girls dominated for start to finish to progress to the next round of the cup. No Millie, so Ella stepped up to play in goal and she was superb. Ella was great off her line and made some good saves. Defence today were really solid. Neve was amazing as a sweeper and Evie was stron

Always a buzz when the Vipers are playing but an extra special buzz when it’s a cup weekend. Last 16 and the Vipers would face Buxton YB Green. We faced their other team last week who were well drilled and talented, but our Vipers are too and ready any opponent.

The U10’s were up against Inter Cheadle this weekend in the 2nd round of the Richard Gregg knockout cup. Each time we play Inter Cheadle it proves to be an entertaining encounter, packed with end-to-end football and the usual twists and turns along the way. The boys started brightly and controlled much of the first half, limiting Inter’s chances while putting together some great passages of play. Stanley bagged two well-taken goals, the second coming from sheer strength and d
