Mellor congregated at Cheadle Hulme again, this time for the scheduled full match following last week’s hastily arranged triangular, which was due to the Liverpool / Sheffield merger.

So, the big game started, and it was pleasing to see England giving Australia another caning in the quarter final of the rugby World Cup, not that the parents were interested of course (!)), what with ref Matt informing everyone that he was ‘taping’ the match and to keep off our smart phones, so he could watch the game on his beta max post the lacrosse game. The less said about the subsequent Ireland game though the better eh Mark D...

Oh yes and on to the other big game...Mellor started well with goals from Cam, Charlie, Seb O, Sammy, Miles and Josh in the first quarter, with our defence only breached once to make it 9 - 1 at the break, Cheadle Hulme were battling hard but up against what is turning out to be an excellent Mellor team.

Second quarter continued as the first finished, Mellor dominating with goals from Cam, Noah, Sammy, Dyl, Josh and Charlie, together with a nice couple of saves from Daniel, and only one conceded meant it was 18 - 2 at half fine.

John continued to mix it around, and Henry started the second half with a nice solo goal, then further strikes from Josh, Miles, Noah, Leo, Sammy, Charlie and Seb B (first of the season !), together with a shut out made it 33 - 2 at full time.

Full credit to Cheadle Hulme though, clearly a developing and young team, they played the game in good spirits, didn’t give up and will only improve. Tougher games though lie ahead for the Mellor boys, who are looking better with every match.
