U'16s lose out to Trinity

Hulme 1 Trinity High 2
The first half of this match began where our last match against North Chadderton ended. We gave the ball away cheaply and didn’t close down with due urgency, allowing Trinity to play free flowing football with extended periods of possession. By half time Trinity were dominant and two goals ahead. A different Hulme team appeared for the second half, not in personnel but in attitude and aspiration. Their strong start to the second half gave them the inspiration to transform the match into a fierce contest. Robert Shaw’s creativity in midfield was narrowly eclipsed by Man of the Match Luke Butler’s determination not to concede defeat. With a quarter of the game remaining Hulme’s efforts were rewarded thanks to an excellent free kick from Captain Danny Mills. Having got his team back into the game, the referee felt that Daniel made an intentionally dangerous challenge on the keeper and was sent off. Despite their disbelief at this decision, Hulme valiantly continued to look for an equaliser with ten men, creating a number of chances but to no avail - Trinity had done enough damage in the first half.

U'16 - first game, first win

It had been a long time coming, but last season’s Oldham Schools’ Cup Champions were reunited for this encounter with St Joseph’s on Bigside. It wasn’t long before the players started to gel once again and play some flowing football. Tom Brooks’ long throw found its way through the defence to Osman Bushara who finished neatly to give Hulme the lead come half time. From the second half whistle, Hulme were dominant, with Robert Shaw bossing the midfield and Danny Mills making penetrating runs from deep. Hulme pressed home their advantage with Mark Eaton’s fine finish. Several late changes in personnel took time to bed down, giving St Joseph’s the chance to counter with just a few minutes left, and Hulme remained resolute in the face of late St Joseph’s pressure. For a typically stalwart performance at centre half, Luke Butler was named Man of the Match.
