Match report New Mills U8 Bees vs Tintwistle U8 Diamonds


It was another cold morning in Glossop but after a last minute pitch inspection the games were on.  This was great news, mainly because nearly everyone had already started travelling there for the early kickoffs, but also because the kids had missed so many matches and training sessions due to the cold they were all raring to go.  This week the Bee's were playing Tintwistle.


We started off with Rocco and Joshua in defence where they have been building up a great relationship and working really well together.  Leo and Charlie started up front both eager to keep their great goal scoring performance. 

Alexander was ready from the start getting his goalie gloves on and the goalkeeper jersey. 


From the kickoff, Leo and Charlie showed how keen they were to work together up front.  Leo uses his pace to get into space and create loads of opportunities.  Joshua and Rocco worked well together in defence. 

Rocco made sure the backline was held and Joshua used the chance to push up the field to support. 

Any counter attack was soon kicked back up the field by Rocco giving the Bee's lot of chances. 

When Seren and Toby came on the pitch they put lots of pressure on to keep the ball up the pitch.  Toby has really been gaining confidence playing out in the field. 

The Tintwistle goalkeeper was proving hard to get past, making lots of good saves.  Eventually Charlie's persistence paid off and he found the back of the net.  Joshua's persistence pushing up the pitch also paid off when he scored from a rebound.  Tintwistle pushed into our half and had some great opportunities.  Alexander showed his safe hands stopping lots of these and really getting used to his role of goalkeeper.  It was a great first half with both teams creating plenty of chances.


With Stanley not available today we needed a goalie for the second half.  Toby volunteered - it's great to have so many great goalkeepers on this team.  Tintwistle were quick to attack and Toby made some great saves from some very strong shots.  Both Seren and Rocco having a chance in the attacking position was great and they put the Tintwistle defence under pressure. 

Alexander got on the pitch and made some great tackles making it really hard for Tintwistle to get into the Bee's half.  Joshua came back on in defence and continued to push up the pitch making some great runs and passes up to Leo and Charlie.  Rocco dropped back to defence and showed that he is really taking well to this role constantly making great clearances and passes up the pitch.  


Overall this was a great game to watch and really close.  They all played with loads of energy and they keep improving each week.  The player of the match went to Joshua this week for his great tackles and defensive play whilst also making some great runs up the pitch. Well done Joshua and well done Bee's.
