- Senior Section Round-Up January 2024
Beechfield United Saturday Morning Senior Team hit a rich vein of form when they remained unbeaten throughout January 2024. Including the final game of 2023 United went four without defeat.
*Kicking-off the new year at home United were held to a 3-3 draw by Fielden Park and on target in that game were Will Gordon, Joe McGee and Sam Woodlens. Chinese outfit Konger FC were Beechy's next opponents and in a very entertaining ninety minutes the teams fought out a 1-1 draw. Man of the Match Callum Tipping scored United's second half equaliser and both Johnathan Hoy and Dan Delaney were Beechy's stand-out defenders. United's final game of the month was away at AFC Stockport and thanks to a solid all-round display Beechy secured a 3-1 victory. The first twenty minutes were evenly contested with both teams creating decent chances before United took the lead around the 25th minute. From a corner taken by Joe McGee the ball was crossed towards the front post and headed into the net by Sam Woodlens then following a lovely passage of play Beechy went 2-0 up when once again Sam Woodlens was on target. The second half begun and United made a shaky start which led to the hosts getting a goal back but Beechy quickly regained control and on seventy minutes a great finish from Will Gordon netted United's third goal. During a better period of play by AFC Stockport a couple of brilliant saves from keeper Luis Mycock guaranteed Beechy the win and the three points.
