Twenty Two goals scored and three games unbeaten saw the Under 15's Hurricanes maintain their good run of form in the Salford and Districts Junior League.

*On Saturday 11th November 2023 the U/15's HURRICANES were away to Salford Lads Reds and following a great all-round display on the 4G Pitch at Ordsall Leisure Centre Beechy secured an 8-3 victory. Recent new signing Luca Humphries was included in the squad for the game and after making a quick start and dominating possession the Hurricanes took the lead via Man of the Match J.J.Lowery. Salford Lads were soon under pressure and Beechy doubled their lead coutesy of J.J.Lowery who completed his hat-trick when he put the Hurricanes 3-0 up in just over ten minutes. Maintaining control Beechy added a fourth goal from a corner that was met by Sophiyulah Bakare who scored with a well directed header. With virtually their first scoring attempt Salford Lads reduced the arrears after the hosts won a free kick and when the ball was hammered at the target it took a deflection before hitting the back of the net.

In the second half the referee awarded Salford Lads what seemed a generous penalty and the hosts got another goal back following the spot-kick. The decision was harsh on the Hurricanes but Beechy quickly responded and made it 5-2 when Owen Hogben was on target from close range after the Salford Lads keeper had saved the initial effort. Once again Salford Lads reduced the arrears but Owen Hogben restored Beechy's three goal advantage with his second goal of the game. When the Hurricanes started to dominate the contest again Alfie Rostron got his name on the score-sheet with a goal from close range to put Beechy 7-3 up. Sophiyulah Bakare netted his second goal of the game via a neat finish from inside the area to complete the scoring.
