New Mills Bees U9 vs Chinley Greens - 12-11-23


A Rainy Sunday saw the Bees finally have a league fixture against Chinley Greens (the weather last season scuppered our fixtures against both Chinley teams)


This week we had a full squad to choose from with Stanley, Will, Rocco, David, Brooke, Millie, Leo and Charlie.


The Bees started the brighter and stronger of the two teams and it was clear we picked up where we left off last week with a lovely passing game.


Stanley didn’t have much to do in the first half as the midfield trio of Brooke, Millie and Leo were not only winning the ball, but passing forwards looking for an opening.


Rocco and Will at the back were staying strong and winning tackle after tackle.  Will is really growing into this team and gaining confidence each week. With a defensive partner like Rocco, they’re becoming very difficult to beat.


The Bees had chance after chance in the first half but the Chinley keeper must’ve had his Weetabix for breakfast as he was equal to the task every time.


A quick swap with David coming on for Will, saw him right in the thick of the action and despite taking a knock, David protected an attack and got the ball out of play.


Half time and the team talk was easy…. More of the same. 


The second half started just like the first, with quick pressure from the Bees. Our left wing wizard Millie is another player who has quickly settled and the inter-play with her and her teammates is fantastic to see.  Brooke is fast becoming our Rodri (sorry Rick!) she’s winning the ball, helping the defence, moving it forward and always getting in the opponents half. Amazing stuff !


Charlie ran tirelessly all day, he’s dropping back and helping out midfield, then moving forward and looking for a killer pass or a shot on goal.  He had a couple of shots today that on another day would’ve been in the back of the net.


The second half was one way traffic with the Bees mounting attack after attack.  With 2 mins left on the clock, the Bees midfield won the ball, passed it through to Charlie who took it further and played a worldie of a pass to Leo who used his speed to out run the Chinley defender and smash the ball into the net ⚽️


This was another fantastic performance from the Bees. They aren’t 7 individuals on the pitch… they’re a TEAM.


Our player of the match today was Will. Excellent defending, not giving up and really getting stuck in 👍🏻


This team is improving week after week and becoming very difficult to beat.
