New Mills U13 v Hazel Grove United Jets
First home game of the season for the U13s and first meet against a new team to the league meant a nervous start for some this morning.
The children played some lovely football today in a 10 goal thriller!
Just what you want from a spectators point of view, plenty of action from start to finish.
New Mills opened the scoring after 8 minutes and followed it up 5 minutes later with a fantastic left wing pass forward for our lightening legs striker to run onto the ball and score his second of the game.
Hazel Grove responded twice before the break taking the score to 2-2.
Plenty of team talk from the boys at half time and ways in which they wanted to play and improve the second half.
A further 3 goals for New Mills in the second half and with less than 10 minutes to go Hazel Grove were 5-3 down. Grove then took advantage and scored from two corners forcing defensive errors from New Mills giving us something to work on at training this week.
All in all a fantastic game to watch. A few of the boys came away a little disheartened with the final result but to grab a point against ex EMJFL Div 1 Champions is pretty good going in my eyes.

Man of the Match went to Jack Bull...new name lightening legs!
Some fantastic runs this week (how fast!), great working back to help out in midfield and for listening to his grandad taking the ball around the keeper to score 🤣
Well played kids, fabulous game to watch, keep working hard!⚽️💛🖤
