Beechfield United Saturday Morning Senior Team were in the second round of the Manchester County Cup against Manchester Gregorians. Both teams were unknown to each other so both didn't know what to expect coming into the game. Beechfield were in a good run of form and were confident. An early injury to the Beechfield Goalkeeper meant that full back Kyle Wray had to go in net at short notice. Beechfield started the game well, controlling the game and their fast pace attacks caught Gregorians out and Beechfield should have took the lead when Ian Black went through on goal, however the confident striker tried an audacious chip which just went over. Beechfield continued to press looking for the opener however Gregorians were breaking well on the counter and their first chance lead to the opener. A good save by Beechfield's keeper was pounced on and the rebound was tucked away to make it 1-0 to Gregorians. This didn't knock Beechfield and they remained calm and continued to press, a deserved equalizer finally came just before half time when Scott Foulds latched onto a good cross by Max Leonard. Half time and it was level at 1-1.
The Second Half Beechfield again continued to have the majority of possession but were not making significant chances to grab the lead, the Saturday Morning team were then punished in cruel style, a mix up on a throw in at the back gifted Gregorians the lead to make 2-1. Beechfield increased the temp and for the last 15 minutes it was wave after wave of Beechfield attacks however they could not grab a deserved equaliser and crashed out of the County Cup. Beechfield were disappointed however the total dominance of the game was clear to see and Beechfield will hopefully take this into upcoming league fixtures.
