Today the U8’s were up against Reddish North End Blue, in the Stockport Metro League.
We started with Charlie J taking a turn in goal, Rhys and James in defence, Teddy and Stanley in midfield and Jackson as Striker.
The game started relatively cautiously with both teams taking time to build up play before making an attack.
Charlie J was in goals and made a great start.
New Mills were building attacks of their own but we were struggling to break through the Reddish defence and get in on goal.
We swapped Charlie T in for Jackson and then started to rotate the others, keen to keep our energy levels up as the game was back and forth.
Teddy replaced Charlie J in goal and Charlie J took his usual position as striker.
New Mills were playing well in the 2nd half and were attacking well.
Teddy started to find his feet in goal after a rocky start and supported by a rotation of Rhys, James and Charlie T in defence, all working really hard to keep the attacks at a minimum.
A midfield mix up of Charlie T, Jackson and Stanley, and Charlie J as striker.
The hard work started to pay off with a great ball into goal from Stanley which Charlie got on the end of.
Another attack from the boys got Charlie J in again on goal and Stanley put away a penalty moments later to keep it a tight game.
A really hard worked game for the U8’s today, it was a tough call for player if the match but the coaches all agreed on Charlie J. A superb first half in goal, before going to the opposite end and bagging 2 goals !
Well done NMJU8’s !
