National Final vs Timperley

After a great semi-final game, that got them a place in the Final against Timperley, Stockport didn't really play to their full potential in this game.  They started off well, with the first goal, but by half time were chasing the game. First in the net in the second half still didn't give them the boost they needed, and Timperley took their chance - and took the gold medals.
Final Score  Timperley 6 : Stockport 3
Half scores:  3-1 / 3-2

Happy Birthday to our super-goalie, Ben - 12 today!

Next Fixture:  U11s Tournament at home, on Sunday 1st April
TRAINING: 9am on Saturday!
Steady...!

Follow that ball!

Whoops!

Semi-Final vs Poynton

In a tense game, the boys played well with great passing as well as some good defending.  With 5 of their 8 goals being assisted, it was a good team effort that earned them a place in the final.
Final score:  Stockport 8  Poynton 3
Half scores:  4-1 / 4-2
Nice one, Cameron

Final league game v Wilmslow

With our visitors being a bit short of players, 4 of our team donned a black shirt for today's game.  This meant that they got a full game, and also, in some of the pictures, it's "spot the Stockport player"!
Amazingly, with Stockport down to a squad of 14, 10 of that squad scored today!
In spite of the final score though, the boys didn't play as good as usual...

Final Score - Stockport 25  Wilmslow 2
Quarter Scores - 6-1 / 4-0 / 10-0 / 5-1

Next fixture: The semi-final (and Final if we make it!) of the postponed National 8-a-side tournament at Timperley Lacrosse Club.  All boys who travelled to Oxford will be required.  All the rest are welcome to come along and cheer them on.
Training next Sunday as usual.

On it's way...

And in!

Team effort! there are 7 Stockport players on this pic!

Semi-Final of the Onondaga Cup

It eventually arrived - semi-final day... With almost a full squad, the boys went out determined to make it to the Flags Final. And, after much hard work, great passing, good finishing and overall good team play- they made it! I could say more, but think that says it all really....

Final Score  Stockport 21 : Rochdale 1
Quarter Scores  5-0 / 5-1 / 7-0 / 4-0

Next fixture - will be on Saturday, opposition and date to be announced, but -
remember the Heaton Mersey teach-in and social at our club from around 1pm (face-off 2pm)
