Saturday saw us make the short trip to play Swinton. Beechy controlled the game from start to finish and raced into a two goal lead within 10 minutes with Declan Nolan netting twice. David Williams who enjoyed his best game since joining the team added a third before half time direct from a corner. Read more…

Storm started this game very slowly and didn’t trouble the Moorside keeper much in the first half despite some lovely passing. A much brighter start in the second half saw the Moorside resistance broken when Ben Barlow made a strong run then exchange a neat 1-2 with Owen Hesketh before sliding the ball home. Owen then took his tally to the season to 3 with 2 well taken and deserved goals. There were some good performances from goalkeeper Dylan Hilton and defenders Liam Wilson, Alex Hunter and motm Callum Denton.

In a great advert for Beechfield football Storm drew their opening league game 1-1. In a opening period dominated by Storm they took an 1-0 lead when Owen Hesketh finished smartly after some neat footwork by Declan Nolan. After this goal Storm should have pressed home their advantage but some determined performances by the Tornado’s players saw them get back into the game and force a deserved equaliser by Lewis Potts. A great game to watch and hopefully the two teams can carry their performances on and fight for top spot! Motm was Mitchell Nolan

Beechfied Utd Under 8′s Tornado’s narrowly missed out on a semi-final place in a tournament at Gigg Lane over the weekend.

Tornado’s were chosen to play on the League Two sides pitch at the interval of their encounter with Gillingham. The Tornado’s game was almost as trilling as Bury’s 5-4 victory.

Thursday night saw the junior managers play the chairmans u 15s team, in a warm up game for the 30th anniversary match against the mini managers.

The u15s started well and took an early lead when they  converted a spot kick following a great one handed save from dave whatton, pity dave wasnt in nets at the time, anyhow this inspired the managers into action and it wasnt long before we drew level, shanes neat pass to  graham rothwell ended up in the bottom corner, The u15s took the lead again following a rare mistake from andy greenalgh who misjudged a shot/pass which ended up going in off the post, The u15s took control of the game and threatened to extend their lead only for andy to produce a gordon banks type one handed save onto the bar, the heat was taking its toll on the managers  and reinforcments were called for ,up stepped ANDY WILSON , who quickly brought us level, further reinforcments at half time saw lee wallis enter the field to hold the flagging midfield together,spraying passes around like a true pro and it wasnt long before andy wilson grabbed his 2nd to put us 3-2 up. the u15s were now the ones who,d ran out of ideas and the managers extended their lead further with a fine header at the back post,late in the game some dodgy referring saw the under 15s given a 2nd penalty which was scored by chris davenport. ft 4-3

Next thursday night sees the mini managers do battle with the u15′s in preparation for the big game sun 6th june at Beechfarm

Many thanks to Shane and his team for a great game played in the right spirit
