THE PERFECT 10 FOR THE UNDER 11s

Bridge took the lead on five minutes when Bradley Jinks chested down a Withington goal kick, and played in Nathan Dunworth (Bomber) who supplied a good finish in the corner.  It was 2-0 four minutes later after Celtic twice hit the bar before Jack Wray made sure from close range. Another poor goal kick fell to Elliot Handley who expertly chested down before finding the far corner for 3-0, while Daniel South showed good strength to poke home following a corner for the fourth. Just before half time, Nathan Greenhalgh's ball to the near post saw the Rangers defence hesitate allowing Bomber to nip in and touch it past the keeper.

The second half followed the same pattern and Bomber completed his hat-trick after good work down right by Keenan Owen. Tom Bennett got number seven with a calm finish after being put clean through, while man of the match Brad deservedly got on the scoresheet to make it 8-0. Max Norman's effort was blocked by the keeper but he had the presence of mind to set up Brad who finished with a low shot. The goal of the game came following good play on the left and a great cross from Tom to pick out Kai Forrest arriving late in to the box to power home a header. With seconds remaining, Tom scored his second and Stalybridge's tenth as his cross come shot floated over the keeper and into the net. Next time Tom, tell everyone you meant it!!

Well done lads. Some superb pass and move football today and great composure on the ball.
