Beechfield United’s Reserve team ended their topsy-turvy Manchester Football League season with a 1-0 away defeat at Manchester Gregorians Reserves. United’s brave attempt to avoid relegation was all in vain because despite amassing ten points from their previous four games they finished in bottom place in the Division Two table.
Beechfield United’s Reserves kept their slim hopes of avoiding relegation alive when they went goal crazy in their Manchester Football League Division Two away game against Avro Reserves.
Beechy bossed the match from start to finish and their brilliant performance was rewarded with a 9-0 victory.
In ideal conditions a goal after only three minutes by Luke Johnston gave United the perfect start then Gary Wallis made it 2-0 four minutes later. Briefly Avro Reserves put pressure on United’s back four but with central defenders Richard Farnie and Aaron Dennis in excellent form the home side never looked capable of getting a goal. M.Leach, Griffiths and Sinnott all wasted easy chances before Gary Wallis added goal number three when he superbly hammered the ball into the roof of the net from about 20yards and from that moment United totally dominated the contest.
Avro Reserves faced a torrid time especially in the second half and two minutes after the interval David Walker made it 4-0 then as United piled on the pressure he was on target again with the fifth goal in the 51st minute. All three United substitutes Browne, Crowe and Alex Hunter joined the action and it was the latter who who put Beechy 6-0 up on 70 minutes and two minutes later Man of the Match Jamie Sinnott scored goal No 7.
Full credit to Avro Reserves who showed a good team spirit but could never deal with United’s all-round strength and ability and after creating so many chances Beechy should easily have hit double figures. David Walker claimed his hat trick with the eight goal and a rare goal by Richard Farnie five minutes from the end completed the scoring. To make matters worse Avro Reserves saw their best player receive a red card in the final minute.

United’s Reserve team received a real boost as they battle to avoid relegation from Manchester Football League’s Division Two. Thanks to another hard working and gutsy performance United secured three vital points following a 1-0 away win at Elton Vale Reserves.
In ideal conditions United made a slow start to the match and the four man defence of Gary Wallis, Richard Farnie, Aaron Dennis and Andrzej Browne were given a stern test in the opening fifteen minutes, Alex Hunter had United’s first real scoring chance but following a great piece of skill the Elton Vale keeper produced an acrobatic one handed save.
While Elton Vale relied heavily on the boring long ball tactic United continued to produce some attractive football and only a well operated offside tactic ruined some of their slick attacking moves. United displayed more confidence in the second half and with Jamie Sinnott, Steven Griffiths and Steve Erskine dominating the midfield area Beechy gradually took control and scored their winning goal in the 60th minute. Erskine sent a perfectly weighted pass between two defenders and the unmarked Steven Crowe raced clear and easily went past the keeper before sidefooting the ball into the empty net. Elton Vale made a brave attempt to find an equalising goal but they ran out of ideas and United were able to ease their way to a fully deserved victory.
Man of the Match was Richard Farnie.
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.
