In an evenly balanced second half United's overall performance improved and on target was Charlie Hilton who cut the deficit to just one goal. The Irlam Rangers keeper pulled off a superb save to deny Beechy an equaliser then the visitors produced a late counter-attack and scored again to secure a 4-2 victory.

Beechy who were at home to local rivals Moorside Rangers Blue failed to take advantage of numerous chances and found themselves trailing 1-0 at the break. The Tornadoes who got back level courtesy of a goal by Nauris Kaluga always looked the better team but it was Rangers who added two more goals to secure a 3-1 win.

There was a first victory of the season for the Under 15's Storm following their Division 1 home game against Manchester Maccabi Broughton.

On Saturday 5th November the Under 14's Tornadoes had a tough home game against second placed team Cherrybrook Villa. But in this Bolton Bury and District League Section B fixture Beechy didn't make life easy for themselves when they went 3-0 down in fifteen minutes. Things went from bad to worse after a tame back pass deceived keeper Derryn Harrison and the ball tickled into the empty net. Cherrybrook took full advantage of a strong wind in their favour and scored direct from a corner the following a defensive mistake the visitors went 6-0 up a lead they held at the interval. The Tornadoes were better organised in the second half and pulled a goal back when Ademola Olusanya finished off a fine move to restore some pride. Man of the Match Leighton White who worked tirelessly throughout the game was rewarded when he netted United's second goal. Then via his second goal Ademola Olusanya made it 6-3 and gave Beechy renewed hope of getting something out of the game. In a frantic last ten minutes Leighton White hit the crossbar and an effort by Jason Wilson was cleared off the line. With the Tornadoes committed to all out attack Cherrybrook exploited gaps in the United defence and scored a seventh goal to effectively kill off the game.

In their next fixture the Tornadoes main aim was not to concede a goal in the first five minutes and against Eagley FC this was achieved. Beechy quickly dominated the match and if it wasn't for some great goalkeeping, indecisive finishing and hard luck the Tornadoes would have taken the lead. It was a mystery how Beechy weren't 5-0 up in the opening quarter-hour and totally against the run of play Eagley created one decent counter-attack and grabbed the lead. Jeanny Le Blanc fired home an equalising goal and the Tornadoes piled on the pressure but unbelievably Eagley via the long ball tactic edged in front again. It was a similar story in the second half and enjoying a greater share of the ball the Tornadoes got back level through Jeanny Le Blanc. Unfortunately United couldn't add further goals their hard work and endeavour deserved. With just five minutes left Beechy conceded a third goal when a harmless looking cross somehow found its way into the back of Tornadoes net. Eagley managed to scramble another goal in the dying seconds and win the game 4-2. For the second time in seven days Leighton White was the Tornadoes Star Player.

Despite the heavy overnight rain the Under 11's Tornadoes Development Group Blue Division game with Winton Yellow went ahead on a slightly soggy pitch. Beechy went a goal down early in the match and when the Tornadoes created decent chances the Winton keeper made several great saves but an equalising goal eventually arrived via Charlie Mulvenna. In the second half the Tornadoes continued to face a tough task against their physical opponents but the Beechy lads responded superbly. A draw would have been a fair result but Winton found another goal to snatch victory. The Tornadoes goalkeeper Lewis Wallis had a great game but voted Man of the Match was Raphael Silveira.

The Under 10's Hurricanes were involved in an entertaining seven goal thriller with Tiki Taka Guardiola's and Beechy celebrated victory thanks to a last minute winning goal courtesy of a well executed free kick by Man of the Match James Tsaylor. Also on target with goals for the Hurricanes in this Dragons Division fixture were Tom Worthington, Dominic Roaden and Harley Mullen.
