SCJFC Blues 3 V 0 Curzon Ashton B....................By Rob Dolan 
Curzon were Stalybridge’s opponents on the first day of the season and on that day they inflicted a double defeat on the Team. However, today was a completely different story. The Blues played some great football and showed 100% commitment. They won an early free kick which Dec floated in to the box, Connor leapt to meet the cross and was unlucky to head narrowly over. A few minutes later, Connor returned the favour crossing from the left and Dec hit the target from close range to make it 1-0. Connor and Dec then combined again, Connor turned the defender and crossed for Dan S who hit the post with his first effort but then did well to slot home the rebound. Deacon saved well just before half time to keep the score at 2-0. In the second half, the Blues put together some great passing moves, James and Niall were solid at the back, Niall in particular made some quality challenges and was always able to pass to a teammate. Dec was ‘bossing’ midfield and set up William who showed great composure on the ball and fired home to make it 3-0. Will then created a chance for himself which was saved by the keeper and Dec, Tyler and Connor combined to create further chances. A really good team display, everyone contributed and put in maximum effort.
Man of the match : Dec
SCJFC Whites v Curzon Ashton A
The Whites had to play in poor conditions with driving rain and very cold temperatures but at times they were a different class particularly with their passing, skill and shooting. Joe was a threat throughout the game and he combined with Oscar and was unlucky not to score when the keeper tipped the ball on to the crossbar. A few minutes later, following another good passing move, Joe scored from a long range shot to make it 1-0. Meanwhile, at the back, Brandon was getting his head on every cross and making some first rate tackles. On the one occasion that Curzon did break though, Thomas D came out and pulled off a great save. Following some good work from Callum, the ball broke to Robson and once again he showed what a great ability he has for long range shots – the keeper had no chance – 2-0. The Whites finished the half with a double effort from Adam which was blocked by the keeper. In the second half Curzon fought their way back in to the game and when the ball fell to one of their strikers from a corner, they pulled the score back to 2-1. Callum, Joe and Oscar all had good efforts on goal but were unable to increase the lead. The score finished 2-1, the Whites thoroughly deserved this victory.
