There were several winning results in the Mini-Soccer Section that included a superb display from Beechy Under 9's Thunder.

*The Under 9's THUNDER kicked-off their Supplementary Cup campaign at home to Red Star Lionesses Under 10's team. Beechy have met their opponents several times this season but had never got the better of. With Red Star having just six players the games was played in a 6v6 format and this was one of Thunder's best performances with every member of the team playing a crucial role. Starting on the front foot Beechy raced into a two goal lead following strikes from Case Sixsmith and Tiffany Kandemiri. Thunder had several decent chances before Red Star managed to reduce the arrears before half time. In the second half the action was end to end and both teams had chances but it was Red Star who got the next goal when they equalised. Both teams were were preparing for a penalty shoot-out decider until Tiffany Kandemiri won possession and fired the ball home from a tight angle to earn Thunder their victory. The whole Beechy team won Player of the match despite the chanting of "Tiffany Tiffany" by everyone at the end. Special mentions to Harrison Spencer who produced a a high energy display and goalkeeper George Kelly who made several vital saves in one-on-one situations.

*Producing another impressive high scoring display in the Salford and Districts Junior League were the Under 8's TORNADOES who were away at AFC Urmston Meadowside Seahawks. In this Supplementary Tournament game the Tornadoes were praised for their superb all-round play that included some outstanding defending. Goalkeeper Cormac Tobin was named Beechy's Man of the Match and on target with the goals for the Tornadoes were Billy Boyd, Brayden Gilligan and Ronnie Sangster.

*In the Manchester Youth Super League Beechy Under 11's LIGHTNING (9v9) finally got the win their recent performances deserved. Great passing, superb pressure on the ball and excellent teamwork led to Lightning's success. Team Captain Crewe Reeves gave Beechy the lead early in the game but United's opponents Manchester Devils equalised against the run of play. Despite playing some very good football Lightning found themselves a goal down when the Devils scored again before half time. As the game resumed in the second half the Beechy Boys were definitely up for the challenge a following lots of pressure Lightning won a penalty for handball by a Devils defender. Henry Dunn was given the responsibility of taking the penalty and he calmly slotted the ball home to get Beechy back level. Lightning kept the pressure on their opponents and this forced another Devils mistake when a defender could only turn a fantastic Charlie Drury shot into his own net. Every Beechy player played their part that guaranteed this thoroughly deserved victory.

*For their third Supplementary Cup game in Group B Beechfield United Under 15's TORNADOES were in action against Wythenshawe Celtic. In this Salford and Districts Junior League game the Tornadoes took a 2-0 lead thanks to goals by Enzo Da Silva and Logan McFeely but due to several defensive and goalkeeping errors Beechy lost the tie 3-2.

*The Under 10's THUNDER versus Chadderton FC fixture in the Manchester Youth Super League produced two evenly matched teams for the most part. Unfortunately Beechy were let down by a few mistakes and eventually lost this mini-soccer game. On target with the goals for Thunder were Deo WaiWai and Jack Steele.

*Beechy Under 10's STORM were away against Red Star Lionesses in the Supplementary Cup and producing a dominant display Storm were rewarded with a star studded victory. Seth Barber was Beechy's ace goalscorer when he was on target seven times while Alfie Heighway and Harry Chambers scored the other goals. This was another top-class performance by Storm who's other players were Bobby Lowe, Kade Doyle, Harry Heathcote-Clare, Jacob Foster, Oscar Pugh, Oscar Berry, Isaac Hargreaves and George Savage.

*For the second time in seven days Beechy Under 12's TORNADOES (9v9) met Ashton on Mersey Bulls. Beechy won the previous game between the teams while on this occasion the the Tornadoes faced their opponents in the Supplementary Cup. With only nine players available it was tough going for the Beechy Boys and in a scrappy first half there were only a few chances between both teams. Ashton on Mersey led 1-0 at the break so the Tornadoes changed it around slightly and added more attacking to their game. Beechy dominated most of the second half but despite using four players upfront they couldn't find a goal. Following another breakaway attack Ashton on Mersey scored again to secure a 2-0 win.
