Almost twenty four hours later the Under 12's Storm were in action again and producing a dazzling display in the Manchester County FA Youth Cup beat Hough End Griffins 7-1. The first ten minutes of this Round 1 tie were very even with both teams playing some attractive football but it was Beechy who made the vital breakthrough. It was the in-form Harry Gartley who scored the opening goal then he quickly made it 2-0 courtesy of a fantastic finish. Asserting their authority on the match United put their opponents under heavy pressure and Harry Gartley completed his second hat trick of the weekend but he saved the best till last when he added the fourth goal via a delightful chip over the keeper. Straight from the restart Beechy continued to carve open the Hough End defence with every attack and eventually Bobby Anderson got in on the act scoring goal number five from a George Moorhouse corner. The roles were then reversed when Bobby Anderson's flag kick was met by the unmarked George Moorhouse and his header put the Storm 6-0 up. Hough End got their consolation goal despite a foul on the Beechy keeper before the ball was put into the empty net. Bobby Anderson with his second goal of the game completed the scoring.
Still searching for their first win of the season in the Tameside Football League are the Under 17's Sunday Team. At home to current Division 1 leaders Avro FC a gutsy display by United went unrewarded and Beechy found themselves 2-0 down at half time. In the second half Avro remained in control and adding four more goals eventually won the match 6-1. Tom Stott scored United consolation goal and Kade Culf was named as Man of the Match.
There was a third successive defeat for the Under 15's Tornadoes who met neighbours Moorside Rangers Blue at Beech Farm. Joe Furlong netted a consolation goal for the Tornadoes who lost this Bolton Bury and District League Section C match 5-1.
Beechy Under 11's Thunder (9v9) had a Challenge Cup home game with Swinton Junior Panthers and making a positive start quickly put pressure on the visitors. A fantastic strike by Jake O'Sullivan opened the scoring for Beechy but Swinton Panthers found a way back and equalised. Showing real grit and determination United regained the lead and added further goals thanks to Jake O'Sullivan (fourth hat trick of the season) and Samuel Oludoyi. Early in the second half Swinton Panthers produced a strong attacking surge but Beechy defended superbly. A goal from debutant Taonga Mututa put United back in control and Man of the Match Prince Idusuyi along with the rest of the Beechy boys made sure no further goals were conceded. A deserved cup victory thanks to a superb all-round performance.

Under 10's Tornadoes Manager Dave Wood received a superb birthday present when his Beechy team produced a brilliant display in the away game against AFC Monton Dynamos. United were well disciplined throughout the match and their finishing was clinical. Despite making several substitutions Monton never controlled the game and Beechy scored some quality goals courtesy of Harley Davidson, Kaiden McLean and Charlie Mulvenna. Goalkeeper Ben Davies was credited with a fine display but it was impossible to choose a Man of the Match.
