Writer's picture: R.OakesR.Oakes

There was a possible question mark on whether Storm Bert was going to affect any of the games today at Glossopdale. Thankfully they all went ahead as planned …. But umbrellas were the accessory of the day ☔️🌧️


Another almost full house, just Rocco K who failed a fitness test. 


We were up against Buxton Young Bucks who are a familiar opponent from our years in the HPJFL….  All the coaches want is for everyone to do their best each week. We couldn’t be more proud of them.

We kicked off and it was quite cagey early on, both teams were wanting to get the upper hand. The Scorpions have now settled in their positions on the field and following on from last week are now finding lovely passes and through balls to each other.

The Scorpions won a corner.. taken by Dylan.. it was deflected back out to the left wing wizard…who knocked in a cheeky lofted cross and Rocco stuck his head on it ⚽️ 👊🏻 probably the first headed goal for the team this season 👍🏻

This lit the touch paper for the Scorpions (and Rocco in particular……)  another good move from the back got the ball through to Ted who stroked it forward to Rocco who controlled it and passed forward to Leo, he ran at speed and then let fly 🚀 ⚽️ (worldie is his words)

All the while Frankie was saving shot after shot from the Buxton players.

The Scorpions tails were up and they went hunting for more.  More great work from Ted battling for the ball, played forward for Rocco who tucked home his second ⚽️

The defenders were on top form today….. William, Dayvd and Callum were all more than upto the task. Like a brick wall…… barely anything got past them…. When it did, they covered each other and put the ball out for a throw.  Callum especially was amazing today 👍🏻 Mr Calm every time.

At this point the rain became relentless…. This didn’t dampen any of the Scorpions spirits.  Leo received the ball out wide and looked up and played a great ball over the top for Rocco to run onto and smash home his third ⚽️.


The second half started as the first half finished.


Pressure from the scorpions ….. a breakthrough.. Rocco with the ball at his feet…. Only one outcome ⚽️


Frankie was called upon once more and each time he was needed, he gathered the ball and looked to get the attack flowing again.  Quick swap to give Ted a breather after a tough coming together saw Leo in the CM role…. He gathered the ball, fired it through for Rocco to run onto ….. only one outcome ⚽️


Buxton weren’t finished yet, a corner came over and Frankie saved, then rolled back to grab the ball to keep it out 👏🏻


The Scorpions should all be proud of their performance today. Everyone of them stood tall and gave everything. 


POTM today again wasn’t easy… Rocco T ran and ran, pulled back and got involved, some great passing and some fantastic goals.


Well done Scorpions 🦂
