U'12 Skipper reviews the St Joseph's game.

A great first half with only a few marginal errors caused us to be one down at half time. We tried hard in the second half, but after ten minutes St Joseph's scored again from a break. Two minutes later St Joseph's scored again when a shot from the edge of the area skidded through our keepers legs. But we didn't give up and within a minute "bang!" Daniyaal shot into the bottom left-hand corner. Ellis was unlucky not to score a second for Hulme. Unfortunately, St Joseph's scored two more before the end to make the final score 1-5. We could of and should of done better!

U'15 against St Joseph's

An injury depleted Hulme team started brightly against St. Joseph’s but couldn’t maintain the pressure and St Joseph’s started to take the upper hand. A goalmouth scramble found Hulme a goal down, and our stand-in keeper was unable to prevent St Joseph’s from extending their lead. At half time Hulme were 4-1 down. Hulme started the second half more agressively and managed to claw their way back to 4-3, but took their foot off the pedal and allowed St. Joseph’s to take control once again. The match ended 7-3 to St Joseph’s. Nathan Coverley was named Man of the Match.

Ollie's views on the St Joseph's win

Fantastic game on saturday boys,we played out of our skins.Everyone did well from Sam up to Tom.We did well to get in front just before half time , from Will's rebound.Then James worked hard to win the free kick that I curled into the roof of the net from twenty yards.Then I think we just let our hair down for a minute and they scored , we just need to keep going all the way and keep pushing for that next goal.Brilliant game boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
