U16 v Mellor at Brabyns Park

In spite of all the heavy rain, the Brabyns pitch was surprisingly playable, and the game itself was a good, tight game.  With only 10 men, we had no subs but carried on fighting right to the end, even winning Q4. Shooting was accurate this week with 13 of our 15 shots on target!
Final Score - Mellor 11 : Stockport 11
Quarter scores - 3-3 / 3-2 / 3-3 / 2-3
Next fixture - away v Oldham Owls on Sat 10th January
Happy New Year!

U12s 'v' Brooklands

In a relatively easy encounter against Brooklands, Stockport dominated proceedings with a comfortable 16-4 victory.  Q1 6-0, Q2 5-1, Q3 3-1, Q4 2-2.  Allowing the coaches to give all players good game time, and trying payers out in unfamiliar positions.  7 different scorers, 11 out of 16 goals assisted, with Ben and Luke both going in goal today.

Chilly game at Wilmslow for the U14s

Icy astro was the venue for our game against the joint Wilmslow/Cheadle Hulme team.  This game had much more to it than our previous weeks' games, and we got a much needed win at the end.
It was a close game, and we did have a good few missed chances, but we hung on and in Q4, at 10-10, Matias got a couple of great goals to secure our first win in five games!
Final score - Wilmslow/Cheadle Hulme 10 : Stockport 12
Quarter scores - 3-3 / 2-2 / 4-3 / 1-4
Next fixture - last fixture of the year, at home v Mellor
