Now playing in the North Bury Junior League are the Under 14's Thunder who opened up their campaign in the Championship Division with a home game against Rossendale Valley Tigers. Beechy produced a decent enough display and in the first half were credited with playing some nice football but Thunder lost the match 3-2. Winning the midfield battle Beechy created many chances in the final third though they failed to test the visitors keeper. Eventually Thunder made the vital breakthrough when last seasons top goal scorer Prince Idusuyi produced a clinical finish for the opening goal. Beechy took their 1-0 lead into the second half that was more evenly balanced though Rossendale Valley didn't really trouble Beechy's defensive trio in open play. But unfortunately for Thunder the visitors took full advantage when they equalised following a corner but Beechy regained the lead after being awarded a penalty for a foul on William Whipday and Harvey Walker scored from the resulting spot-kick. Then with fifteen minutes left to play Rossendale Valley drew level again this time from the penalty spot. The Beechy boys were obviously disappointed after some slack defending led to the visitors scoring a third goal that secured them a narrow victory and though Thunder worked hard in a effort to force at least a draw they ran out of time. Dominic Lawton was named Man of the Match.
The Under 14's Tornadoes played their first ever game in the North Bury Junior League. Beechy were away to Littleborough Junior Yellow for this Division 2 fixture and at the final whistle found themselves on the wrong end of a 6-3 score line. Goals for the Tornadoes came via debutant Tom Critchley, Max Chidgey (penalty) and a screamer from the edge of the area by captain Andrew Woodward. Beechy fielded six new players including goalkeeper Ben Brown who made several great saves during a lively contest.
