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.

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.

Man of the Match was Ben Donohue.
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?
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.

Beechfield United’s Saturday Morning Open Age Team added the CFFL Shield to their Manchester Saturday Morning League Second Division title following a 3-2 victory over Chadderton FC on Wednesday 27th April 2011. But United’s performance in the final was lethargic especially in the first half and according to Manager Graham Rothwell he will be hoping his team give a better display when they meet Manchester Medics in the final of the Manchester Evening News Cup on Saturday 7th May.

In their first season the North Bury Junior League Beechfield United’s Under 11s Storm completed a unique trophy double by adding the Leech Knock-Out Cup to their Premier Division title. In the Knock-Out cup final United produced a highly-polished performance against Prestwich Marauders Tornados and at the final whistle were comfortable 4-1 winners.
On on a perfect day for football United made a dream start when goals by Jake O’Brien and Jack Wyatt gave them a 2-0 lead after only six minutes. Prestwich Marauders quickly pulled a goal back scored direct from a corner and it took Beechy a few moments to recover from the shock but they soon regained their composure and Man of the Match Tom Walker was on target when he made it 3-1.
The second half was similar to the first with United well in control and Prestwich Marauders relying heavily on the counter attack. Jack Wyatt netted his second goal to complete the scoring following another excellent quick passing move down the left flank. The players were presented with their individual winners trophies by league officials after the match.
The squad who have been a credit to themselves and the club throughout the season are as follows :- Joe Parker, Benjamin Sykes, Adam Kinsey, Alfie Belcher, Ridley Cassidy, Jack Davies, Thomas Battersby, Thomas Walker (captain) Jack Wyatt, Taylor Share, Jake O’Brien, Conner Reid, Zach Booth & Joshua Edwards plus Team manager Gary Parker and Coach Gary Davies.
I’m not going to tease this one like all the other match reports – we’ve broken our duck and WON our first game of the season – and what an enjoyable game it was too!
Beechfield United Under 9s Hurricanes have been confirmed as champions of the Stax City of Salford Soccer League’s Division C.

For the second time in a week we found ourselves at home to Leigh. The last week, we’d given the game away in the second half and had been given a lifeline through to the Supp Cup – but could we rise to the challenge this time?
