Under 12's match report V Wellacre

U 12’s ESFA Cup 2^nd Round

Tuesday 4^th October 2011

Oldham Hulme 1 Wellacre 6

The U12’s unbeaten start to the season ended as they lost 6-1 to Wellacre in the 2^nd Round of the ESFA Cup on Tuesday. Hulme started with some good passing football and created a few early chances. Unfortunately they failed to put any of them away. They soon regretted this as midway through the first half Wellacre took the lead. Despite battling hard the U12’s couldn’t find an equaliser and the first half ended with no further goals.

In the second half Hulme couldn’t match their earlier efforts and Wellacre took full command of the game. They scored 5 further goals and the U12’s only managed one goal scored by Ben Taylor, his 3^rd of the season. The Man of the Match was Tom Walton who played really well in the centre of midfield.

Despite losing their unbeaten run, the U12’s are not disheartened and they look forward to the rest of the season with confidence.

Under 12's match report V MGS

Today there was a big game as Hulme faced local rivals MGS .It was also a special day for Hulme striker William Lamb who was celebrating his 12^th birthday. The game started off very even as both teams were looking strong. We got an early breakthrough as William Lamb finished a special birthday goal (1-0). After that we slowed down and MGS took control. Later in the first half MGS got two quick successive goals to go 2-1 up. At half time Coach Mr Hurst gave a good team talk and at the start of the second half we looked a lot stronger. Early in the second half Hulme’s other striker Jamal Steele scored a brilliant goal to bring Hulme back level. Coach made a few substitutions and brought on super sub Ben Taylor who finished the match off with a brilliant double. The game finished 4-2 to Hulme. The man of the match was Cameron Southern who made some brilliant runs down the left wing and set two of the four goals up.
