Beechy Under 13's Storm who met Bolton Lads and Girls Yellow at Stott Lane played throughout this Section C match with just ten players. Storm started really well and took a deserved lead thanks to a fine finish into the bottom corner of the net by Leo Barrett and enjoying a greater share of the ball Beechy were soon leading 2-0 when the lively Leo Barrett scored again. Following more good football from Storm Jayden Okoli added Beechy's third goal via an easy tap in at the back post.

Quickly regaining control Storm clinched a fully deserved 5-2 victory and the three points when Tawab Ogunleye completed the scoring.

Following a fully deserved hard fought victory over Manchester Maccabi Falcons in the Red Group the Under 11's Tornadoes (9v9) stretched their unbeaten run to ten games. A well taken goal by Sam Rowbottom in the 10th minute was reward for Beechy's early dominance in this Sunday home game. But a spirited Maccabi Falcons produced a positive reply and thanks to two goals one a delightful free kick the visitors held the lead at half time. It took almost twenty minutes of the second half before the Tornadoes equalised after the Falcons had survived an attacking surge from Beechy who had seen six efforts hit both post and crossbar. When the cool Finley Fairhurst finally fired home the equaliser the Tornadoes were expected to go on and easily win the match but once again Maccabi Falcons fought back and regained the lead. Undeterred Beechy continued to put pressure on their opponents and from a resulting corner the ball appeared to hit Edward Hughes on the side of the face and roll over the line. With six minutes remaining the Tornadoes won another corner and after controlling the ball on his chest Edward Hughes drilled it low into the corner of the net for Beechy's match winning goal. Maccabi forced three successive corners and the Tornadoes had to produce some resolute defending before they could claim the victory. This was another great all-round team effort and the Tornadoes added determination and resilience to their growing list of attributes. Man of the Match was midfield ace Edward Hughes for a tireless hard working display.
Another Beechy Junior who scored a wonder goal was Under 11's Hurricanes 9v9 player Rian Haines and his goal plus two from Harrison Tinald saw Beechy recover from three goals down against AFC Monton Dragons.

On a pitch described by Manager Mark Rowbotham as a mud bath the Under 10's Tornadoes met FC Bridgewater Cosmos in the Challenge Tournament.

Man of the Match went to Ethan Harris.

Losing concentration towards the end of the match Beechy conceded a couple of goals in quick succession. On the scoresheet for Beechy were Man of the Match Deenraj Singh and Oliver Eckersley and currently Lightning are playing some great football.
Despite a great all-round performance the Under 8's Storm lost by the odd goal in five following their home game against Salford United Stars a penalty the deciding goal. There were two more goals for Ryden Coward who seems to score with every shot on target at the moment. Storm's Best Player award went to Connor O'Sullivan.
One thing you are guaranteed watching games involving Beechy Under 7's are goals galore but as yet United's players haven't grasped the need to score more than their opponents. In the Division 1 home game with Swinton Jaguars that produced seventeen goals Beechy made a slow start and conceded three early goals before rallying to get back in the match with goals from Jacob Wood and Man of the Match Oliver Cooper. The opening period of the second half was fairly even and both teams scored again with Aiden Gradwell on target for Beechy from the penalty-spot but Swinton Jaguars added further goals via numerous counter-attacks.
