MATCH REPORT NMJU8 7th October
An unusually warm morning at Brinnington in the Stockport Metro League to face Richmond Rovers Napoli.
We had our usual 7 available and started with Teddy as striker, Stanley and Rhys in midfield, Charlie T in defence and James in goal.
New Mills took the kick off, and started with there usual strong pass work, however a small error and Napoli was there to take advantage and score with the first shot of the game.
It would have been very easy to drop there heads going down so quick against a tough side however the Millers dug deep and after a couple of close calls from Teddy, it was our star man Stanley who got the equaliser.
Some really good battles followed and both teams got another. Some solid defensive work from Charlie T and saves by James ensured we stayed equal going into the 2nd half which was vital.
Shortly after the break Napoli went ahead again, fortunately for us it wasn’t long before Stanley was there to pull this back for us. A bit of a move around and we added in Jackson and Charlie J.
Some quite amazing play followed with the Millers catching Napoli on the break and a beautiful pass from Stanley set Charlie J up for a great goal.
A quick break for Charlie T at the back with Rhys helping out, and Teddy replaced Stanley on the wing whilst they took a well deserved rest.
Only moments later we found ourselves on the break again thanks to a great clearance from Rhys, a strong ball up the pitch chased down by Jackson who played the ball in for Charlie J to hit home.
Another great team performance today, with everyone putting in a shift.
Player of the match went to Charlie T.
Charlie was solid in defence today, against a very good side who gave it there all, and continued to attack all the way to the end.
Well done New Mills !
