Beechfield United Under 17's Tornadoes were involved in an amazing game with Roach Dynamos that finished level at 7-7. In the Bolton Bury and District League the teams met seven days earlier and Roach had easily won that Section B fixture 7-0. With revenge plus a better performance top priority the Tornadoes made a great start by taking an early lead then quickly making it 2-0. Ten minutes later Roach reduced the arrears but Beechy soon regained their two goal advantage. The Tornadoes lost Louis Lawrence following an injury and Harry Cottrill was absent after last weeks injury but Joe Furlong and Kai Mitchell returned adding strength to the strike force. Suddenly relaxing their grip on the match Beechy allowed Roach back into the contest and the visitors led 4-3 at half time. United's lacklustre display lingered well into the second half and the Tornadoes found themselves 7-3 down. Joe Furlong scored to make it 7-4 and this goal seemed to rejuvenate the whole team and producing a superb fightback the Tornadoes found three more goals via Joe Furlong, Taylor Schofield and Bailey Sullivan as Beechy outplayed their opponents in the latter stages.

In the Challenge Tournament the Under 13's Thunder from Division 2 met Division 1 opponents De La Salle Devils. Knowing they faced a tough challenge the Beechy boys gave it their best shot despite De La Salle being in control of the game throughout. Thanks to some resolute defending Beechy kept it goalless for the opening fifteen minutes but they ended the first half 3-0 down. De La Salle scored two quick goals early in the second half and though this ruined Thunder's hopes of a comeback they continued to show their fighting spirit. During a twenty minute spell the Beechy players rolled up their sleeves and were rewarded with what proved to be a consolation goal via Konstantin Hristova. Beechy almost added another goal but De La Salle had scored again to secure a 6-1 victory. Sharing Beechy's Man of the Match Award were Callum Snaith and James Quinn.

When Charlie Harris scored a brilliant goal to add to Sam Henderson's opener the Under 11's Typhoon (9v9) looked to have done enough to win their Challenge Tournament tie at De La Salle Devils but Beechy conceded two sloppy goals and it was all level by half time.
