Despite having a squad of seventeen players only eleven were available for the Under 14's Tornadoes away fixture with Ringley Park Rangers. The opening fifteen minutes produced some scrappy football from both teams but things improved especially for Beechy who took the lead via Derryn Harrison. The Tornadoes then took control and added a second goal through Ben Grattix and minutes later Jeanny Le Blanc powered his way past two defenders and his accurate finish put United 3-0 up. Ringley Park got a goal back just after half time but the Tornadoes quickly regained their three goal advantage after Jeanny Le Blanc was on target again with his second goal of the game for 4-1. A magnificent volley from Ademola Olasanya added United's fifth goal before Ringley Park earned themselves another goal after some slack Tornadoes defending. The set back was easily forgotten as Beechy almost immediately dominated possession again and after twice being denied by the Ringley keeper Leighton White scored a very good goal giving United a comfortable four goal lead. Thanks to an audacious finish Ellis Taylor completed the scoring and round-off a convincing performance by the Tornadoes. Final score Ringley Park Rangers 2 v Beechy Tornadoes 7.

Away to Deans Tigers the Under 12's Thunder played some good football in the first half of this Division 2 contest but were not clinical when scoring chances were on offer. As Beechy dominated possession it was one way traffic towards the Deans goal but the home side re-grouped in the second period and enjoyed more of the ball. Deans took the lead then five minutes later Beechy equalised thanks to Harvey Walker but via a swift counter-attack Deans edged 2-1 ahead. Keeping the pressure on their opponents Beechy worked hard to find a second equaliser that never arrived.
