The U12's beat Rochdale St Clements 3-2 in extra time of the league cup. The lads put in another fantastic performance to beat a very strong St Clements team who beat us 3 weeks ago. That was our only defeat of the season so far but since then the lads have really started to look strong in every department. I've had a fantastic response from all the parents about how the lads are really competing well as a team. Today was another great example of courage ... Read the rest of this article...

The U12's edged out Gamesley in a really competetive match. We started well and created quite a few chances which could and should have put the game to bed in the first half. We got goals either side of half time but Gamesley fought back. Aidan was once again very impressive in goal & pulled off some great saves to keep us in the game. The defence stood firm. Callum Gaskin is fitting in well & both he & Ethan had their hands full keeping their impressive wingers ... Read the rest of this article...

The under 12's got a great result against 3Ds. After a wake up call last week we dominated the first half and played some great football. 2 goals from Jamie & Kyle sealed the game but we could have had far more in the first half as we created chance after chance. All in all a great team effort that was a marked improvement from last week. Well done lads, now keep it up.

The U12's lost 3-0 to Rochdale St Clements in a closer game than the score indicates. On the full size pitch for the first time and playing against a really strong wind we were under pressure from the start. St Clements kept us in our half but the team stood firm to hold out against a wave of attacks for the first 15 minutes. Callum did a solid job at right back and Sean & George had their hands full with a really impressive,big  quick centre forward. St Clements continued to spray ... Read the rest of this article...

The under 12's started the season with a 6.3 away win against Delamere Rangers. In a hard fought game the lads started nice & quick going up 2.0 within 10 minutes. It should have been more as we created chance after chance. We then got a bit carried away attacking and left the defence exposed. We failed to challenge and clear our lines and before we knew it Delamere grabbed 2 goals. This only acted as a wake up call and we grabbed a goal going into the break 3-.2 We started the se...

The U'11's won the League Cup Final 3-2 in a brilliant game at Seal Park Mossley. The Bridge lads came from 2-0 down at half time to win 3-2 in extra time. Glossop started strongly & dominated the early stages. Kyle, Fletch & Joe put in the work but we were chasing shadows. Joe got injured to be replaced by Stuckey but we could not get used to the full size pitch & Glossop scored with what looked like a cross from a tight angle, followed quickly by a penalty...

The U11's returned to form by beating Denton Youth 4-1 in a one sided game. After last weeks poor display when the lads let themselves down for the first time this year they trained hard & played some great football to comfortably beat Denton Youth. Denton are a very strong team that have a chance of winning the league this year, so the result was a little unexpected. Right from the start the bridge lads were on their game, every play trying to get involved & playing his pa... Read the rest of this article...

The U'11 have reached the League Cup Final for the second year running. Having won the trophy last year we faced a more difficult challnge this yearwith the cup in a league format rather than straight knockout. We played 6, won 5 lost one and reached the final with a game to spare. We fave Glossop in the final having beat Duky Youth, Chadderton, Failsworth, 3D's & Clayton only losing to Glossop who we now face in the final at Mossley on 14 or 21st May. Recent league res...

The U11's won 3D Dynamos 9-1 in a game of 2 halves. After so many cancelled games of late the lads were just glad to get out on the pitch but we struggled to get going until the second half.  We went in 2-1 up at half time to be be honest 3D's created quite a few chances & if it were not for Gary being quick of his line & a man of the match performace by George then things might have been different. We rang the changes at half time, threw on all the subs & t... Read the rest of this article...

The U11's lost today 2-1 to Glossop. We started slow and didn't really get going until the second half. Glossop were the best team in the first half as we struggled to get our passing together to create any real attacking moves. Glossop didn't really create that any chances either but we gave away a sloppy goal. We weren't awake and let in a easy cross and somehow the ball broke loose through a packed penalty area to a spare Glossop player to stab it home giving Gary no chance. ...
