First match of the new season

The first game of the season saw Stockport up against Mellor at the Brooklands ground.
Stockport soon got into their stride after the summer break, to finish the first half 5 - 0!
With 5 different goal scorers - including one of our newest recruits - it was a great result for Stockport. Mellor managed to get on the scoreboard in the second half but it was a great victory, and a fantastic start, to the new season for our U12s.

Final score: Mellor 1 : Stockport 9

Next fixture: at home against HMG and Timperely B

Game 2 vs Brooklands

Immediately following Stockport's victory over Mellor, we were back on the pitch against the home team. Brooklands were quick to score - but that didn't deter the boys in blue, who finished the first half 3:1 up.
Whilst Stockport were the first to score in the second half, Brooklands got the next 2 to narrow the gap to just one goal... but, Stockport didn't concede and got 2 more goals, taking the final score to 6:4.
