U12’ s Hurricanes v Salford Victoria 7.1.2012 As Hurricanes welcomed a new team to the division would the new year start with a victory just as 2011 had finished? Ryan (hot shot) Curran greeted SalfordVictoria’s captain and the referee at the centre spot to carry out the pre match formalities. Hurricanes started the match the stronger team and began to apply pressure forcing the opposition back deep into their own half, Ben and James both going close but lacking composure just when it was required in front of goal. Despite Salford’s lowly league position their passing and determination was beginning to restore the balance ...

Hurricanes go marching on!

U12’ s Hurricanes v Swinton Lions Challenge cup 10.12.2011 Hurricanes go marching on! A convincing 4-1 victory against Swinton Lions sees Hurricanes into the next round of the challenge cup for the first time in many years. Up for the challenge despite being without Bradley Zazuum Smith their regular keeper a returning Kia Leonard (broken arm) stood in for the absent Zazuum as skipper for this game. From the whistle Kai started accurately passing the ball out to both wings, something that had been lacking from their game in the last few weeks and so Hurricanes were able to create the first of many openings. ...

Congratulations go to the Under 11s Storm who made it through to the Semi-Final's of the MCFA Youth Cup.

A Look Back to December 1997

When I did my first match reports for Beechfield United FC back in 1997 I had no typewriter so they were hand written and sent via fax to the Salford Advertiser Sports Desk. Fourteen years later things are much easier thanks to the e-mail facility. So lets look back to 1997 and see the details of the last games played that year which took place on Saturday 20th December. Playing their final match before the Christmas/New Year break Beechfield United's First Team had to settle for a 2-2 draw following a Lancashire and Cheshire League Division 3 away fixture at St ...

U12s Hurricanes v Barr Hill Aces – 3/12/11

A tough away fixture against high flying Barr Hill Aces awaited Hurricanes on a bitterly cold and wet Saturday. Could they carry on from last weeks convincing victory or as the history books show, come away from Bolton road with nothing? For the second time this season Daniel Hickey carried out the formalities at the centre circle earning the captains arm band for his terrific display last week. In the first ten minutes Hurricanes carved out more chances than Barr Hill but the now on form, Ben Crowther had lost his sight on goal and as normal Hurricanes fell behind to a ...

U11′s Hurricanes v Boothstown Juniors – 3/12/2011

Cold weather, torrential rain, and a squad of 9 (including missing a keeper) made our first encounter of the fortnight a tough fixture against Boothstown Juniors. We we planning on making it a dress rehearsal for the Challenge Cup game against them next week but in the end we simply just had to play it as it came. Dan W stepped up to replace missing Lewis in goals and did a sterling job. Making as many great saves throughout the game as he missed. Dan F had a quiet game compared to recent ones but still showed great strength. Nick covered ...

Third team miss out on runner’s up spot

28th April, 2010 | Posted by Jay Roche |

The 3rd team wasted the chance of securing at least runner’s-up spot in Division Two of the Manchester Saturday Morning League when they lost 7-4 to Brushes FC.

Goals by Lee Rothwell and Dean Quinn gave United a healthy 2-0 lead but Beechy relaxed their grip and were trailing 3-2 at half time. A brief fightback by United was all in vain as Brushes FC added four more goals in a one sided second half. Dean Quinn and Ben Rothwell netted goals three and four.

But United finished the season in style with a 9-3 victory over cup finalist’s Heston FC. Despite being without five key players United played some of their best football of the season. Mike Heyworth and Lee Rothwell put Beechy 2-0 up before Heston pulled a goal back then Mike Heyworth quickly made it 3-1 but Heston reduced the arrears again from the penalty spot. It soon became 4-2 just before half time thanks to Alex Griffiths and the second half continued in a similar pattern as United created more excellent football. They went 7-2 up via goals from Kyle Wray, Sam Viller and Mike Heyworth (hat trick goal) then Heston pulled another goal back before two spectacular goals by Graham Rothwell and Lee Rothwell completed the rout. Mike Heyworth vas voted Man of the Match.
