U7's B v Chaddton Park Griffins Sat 10th April

Stalybridge Celtic B 1 - Chadderton Park Griffins 5 By Joanne Wood
Saturday saw a climate change with temperatures higher than the team are used to and this seemed to drain them of their usual high energy levels.  They faced an uphill struggle from the very start of the game by conceding 2 goals in quick succession.  After a short while the team did settle down and there were some good runs down the wing and strong crosses from Rhys but unfortunately there was nobody lying in wait to put the ball in the net.  The opposition was a strong side and went on to increase their lead and the half-time score stood at 3-0.  Despite a stronger defence in the second half, the Griffins increased the lead to 4-0.  There was a glimmer of hope when the oppostion scored an own goal which was created by a good cross from Rhys but unfortunately this was not not enough to fire up Stalybridge's enthusiasm and the Griffins scored a final goal and ran out 5-1 winners.
