Beechfield United's Under 15's Girls Team who had been sidelined for twelve weeks finally played a 9v9 match in the Bolton Bury & District Junior Football League. Obviously the girls didn't enjoy the extended break mainly due to postponements caused by the weather but they showed no after-effects on Sunday 19th February when they beat Hindley Juniors 4-0 at Beech Farm Playing Fields. Manager David Farrand and Coach Steve Smith knew that the Girls would be looking for revenge because when the team's met earlier in the season Hindley Juniors came out on top thanks to a 3-2 victory. Beechy ...
Due to the erratic british weather nearly all BUFC Mini/Junior Section teams have seen a bulk of their games postponed in January/February 2012 so night games at the end of the season are inevitable. On Saturday 7th January in the Stax City of Salford Soccer League the Under 10s Storm lost 3-0 away at Cherrybrook while United's Under 12s Hurricanes enjoyed a 5-2 home win over Salford Victoria. No Sunday games were played. A week later the U/8s Storm, U/8s Tornados, U/10s Thunder, U/12s Predators and the U/13s Hurricanes all suffered defeats but in the Challenge Cup there were wins ...
U12’s Hurricanes v Swinton Jaguars 21.1.2012 Hurricanes challenge cup run comes to an end….. Not such a thorough match report this week as the reporter was absent for the second half of this challenge cup fixture and disappointingly missed Ben Crowthers consolation goal for Hurricanes in a 1-6 defeat . A very even opening 15 minutes with both sides carving out goal scoring opportunities but the scores stayed level and to any neutral watching it was hard to determine the divisional status of these two teams. A shot of true class from Jaguars left winger gave Hurricanes keeper Zazuum no chance of saving and ...
U12’s Hurricanes v Irlam Vale Falcons 18.2.2012 After waiting over 4 weeks to play this tough away fixture against a free scoring Irlam side, Hurricanes were eager to get back playing after the enforced winter break ……. After picking up MotM for the third time in Hurricanes last outing Daniel Hickey represented Hurricanes as captain and carried out the prematch formalities. Straight from the kick off Irlam gained possession and before any spectator had found their seat or taken the lid off their coffee and with stand in keeper Ryan hotshot Curran still familiarising himself with the muddy and boggy goal area Hurricanes ...
On Sunday 29th January 2012 Beechfield United U/12s Storm made it through to the MCFA Youth Cup Quarter-final's thanks to a 5-2 home victory over Manchester Corinthians who are members of the Tameside Junior Football League. The match went ahead following two previous postponements and though pitch conditions weren't ideal at Beech Farm some excellent football was played by both teams. Straight from the kick-off a frantic pace was produced and both keepers were in action in the opening minutes. After wasting some decent chances Beechy took a deserved lead when Taylor Share regain possession on the right flank and ...
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 ...
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. In the Quarter-Final's United who faced Glossop North End away fully deserved their 2-1 victory. Beechy produced a brilliant first half display and led 1-0 at the break courtesy of a goal from Jordan Coates. In the second period Glossop North End looked better organised and were rewarded with an equalising goal but United stepped up a gear and Jordan Coates was on target again with the match winner. Ethan Haynes and Jace Winspear shared the Man of the Match Award. ...
Following their first game of 2012 Beechfield United's Reserve Team booked their place in the Quarter-Final's of the MCFA Saturday Amateur Cup. Despite a below par performance United still managed to secure a 1-0 home victory in Round 3 over Lancashire and Cheshire Football League side Manchester Rovers. Conditions at Salford Sports Village were less than ideal with a strong gusty wind blowing down the length of the 3G Astroturf Pitch. Manchester Rovers made a promising start to the tie putting heavy pressure on United's back four of Peter Adams, Richard Farnie, Lee Buckley and Peter Reid. In reply United's ...
