Legacy Tournament - Day 1

The first of the Legacy Tournaments took place this Saturday at William Hulme School.

Stockport put out an U10s side with a mix of new and more experienced players.

For some - Ryan, David, Luca - this was their first taste of the competitive game of field lacrosse, and they all made brilliant contributions to the matches.

The team did well with 2 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws - and finished joint 2nd with 11 points.

Well Done U10s

Game 1 v Timperley

The tournament got off to a good start with our first game against Timperley. It was a close game and our new U10s team gave themselves a boost of confidence with their first win.

Final score - Stockport 4 : Timperley 3

Goals - Danny (2), Matias (1), Cameron (1)

on target for Danny

watch out Lewis!

Looks like a golf swing...!

Half time team talk

"now to just pull it back...."

what's the ball doing there??

oh no, man down :-(

Game 2 v Mellor

Continuing our winning streak, our second game of the tournament saw the Blues take an early lead, and maintain that throughout. In goals for the first time, Liam did a great job.

Final Score - Stockport 6 : Mellor 3

Goals - Danny (6)

Active attack!

Leaping Lewis!

Making a good job of it

A close game for the U10s, putting our first draw on the scoreboard.

Final Score - Stockport 4 : HMG 4

Goals - Matias, Cameron, Danny, Lewis

Lewis goes on a trip...

"some force is pulling my stick skywards!"

Game 4 v Norbury

In what had to be the feistiest game of the day, Stockport managed a draw.

Final Score- Stockport 3 : Norbury 3

Goals - Danny (3)

Another stint in goals for David

Lewis heading for goal

Showing a bit of leg!

Back of the net!

Lewis Lightfoot again

After the trials and traumas of the previous game, Stockport weren't on top form for this game, failing to score in the 1st half. The highlight of the game had to be the face-off of the youngest players on the field, with Poynton's youngest going on to score his 1st goal.

Final Score - Stockport 1 : Poynton 6

(Goal: Matias)

Liam in action in goal

Luke in the midfield

Get in there, Stockport!

Smallest face-off of the day

Day 2, summer tour

After a night under canvas, we packed away early to make our way to the Reading Tournament.

With games against the home side, the visitors from the USA, and Spencer, we made it through to the Final against Talbot.

Another great day, and the opportunity to play teams we don't usually meet.

Group shot - Talbot, Stockport

end of game handshake

Final v Talbot

Through to the Final, and our second match of the day against Talbot... could we manage to beat them this time?

Unfortunately not! Another great game, and the same score as the first game of the day -

Final Score - Talbot 4 : Stockport 3

(Goals: James (2), Michael)

Let's pincer his head!

Alex looking menacing...

First aid! and that was Danny out of the game :-(

Pass to your brother, Mike!

clash of the sticks

put your left leg in, and shake it all about

Game 3 v Spencer

3rd game and we were getting into the swing of it - in spite of the sometimes marked difference in the size of the players, our win this time was more conclusive.

Final Score - Spencer 1 : Stockport 6

(Goals: Michael (3), Edward, Thomas Mc, James)

A strong defence line...
