Today New Mills were against Inter Cheadle East, in the Stockport Metro League at Brinnington.
A favourite earlier kick off, and both teams agreed 6v6.
We started with Stanley taking a turn a goal, with James and Charlie T covering defence, Rhys and Jackson in midfield and Charlie J as striker.
The boys started well piecing together some nice passing, but were unfortunate to concede an early goal from a corner.
The boys started to build again with Rhys and Charlie J linking up nicely, but Inter were fast on the counter attack.
We needed a change , so we brought Teddy on who made an immediate impact steadying up the midfield and putting in a few of his long throws for some chances on goal.
This ultimately led to another superb goal from James who caught the ball nicely from far out and floated it high in the net.
Not only was this a great goal for James, but it was goal 100 of the season for the U8’s 👏 👏
This lead us into half time where we changed keeper, Jackson after once again being top tackler took the gloves for the 2nd half and we added Stanley on the left midfield.
Our front 3 of Charlie J, Stanley and Teddy immediately putting Inter under pressure and another long throw set up Stanley for goal, before he added his own magic by getting another couple showcasing his skills on the left.
Charlie J was unlucky not to get on the goal sheet after connecting well enough to send the ball out of the park twice 😂😂😂
Our rotating defence of James, Rhys and Charlie T still as plenty to do in keeping the Inter attacks at a minimum, which is easier said than done. And Jackson doing a great job in goal.
A tough call for player of the match as there was a few really good individual performances. We decided on Teddy, who’s work rate was fantastic today, and whilst he didn’t get on the scoresheet, he got himself a couple of assists, and never gave up.
