NMJFC U10 Blacks v Glossop North End
A very tough game was in store for us today as we faced a Glossop Team with an outstanding record this season. The Millers knew they’d have to perform at the top of their game in this fixture in order to get a result.
The game started very close and cautious today and rightly so. Liam and Ella playing as a defensive partnership were closing off every Glossop attack with support from Oliver W who slotted into a defensive midfield position. Bobby on the left wing provided wide options along with Kian on the right who had a real battle on his hands against a lively glossop winger today.
It wasn’t long before Glossop’s persistence paid off.
With their heads still in the game, New Mills kept up the pace and provided Harley with a couple of chances - the Glossop goalkeeper was playing well to stop some excellent efforts.
A rallying team talk at half time reminded the players of how many times before to dig deep and to go on and get a result - this team never gives in!
Introducing Albie and Oliver B into the mix for the second half bolstered our attacking threat. Albie showed some magnificent ball work to get out of sticky situations and then find precision passes through to forward Oliver B who had a couple of chances. - it looked like a goal was coming for The Millers.
Harley dropped into a familiar left wing position and Bobby moved to a more central role, whilst Shea was partnered at the back with our defensive wall Liam. This proved to be a great switch up as Shea was letting nothing past him. Not only was he impossible to get past, but his movement forward with the ball created chance after chance today.
More and more sterling saves from the Glossop number 1 left New Mills growing more and more frustrated.
The final whistle blew and the players shook hands with their opponents knowing they’d really come up against a quality team today. Even the Glossop coach knew that New Mills had given them a great game.
Fantastic game of football all around from both teams 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Our man of the match today was Shea Bailey 🏆who made a huge difference when called upon and from a personal point of view had one of his best games this season 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done U10 Blacks. Superb performance.
