Could the Mellor Boys keep up their “100%” win record in the league this season?
The match against Heaton Mersey started with both teams looking reasonably well matched. A few missed chances for both teams and finally Mellor broke the deadlock with a goal from Jake assisted by George. Josh quickly followed this up with a solo effort that made it 2- 0 at the end of the first quarter.
A lot of fast play from both sides as the second quarter began. It was only a matter of time before the strong looking number 3 for Heaton Mersey opened the scoring for them. Jamie hit the post 3 times along with scoring a couple more for Mellor. Heaton Mersey replied with another goal and Mellor came to life with goals for Jack Royle, Oli and Josh giving Mellor a 7-2 lead as we went into the 3rd quarter.
Joey was lively in midfield and often in attack just missing out on a few occasions before he found the net. The defence continued to do a great Job of keeping Heaton Mersey at bay. A fast pass from George found Josh who passed it on to Jack R who’s shot rebounded only to find itself back in Jack’s stick. He didn’t miss the second time!!! A great fast run by George, laying it off to Jack R to score his third of the game and end the quarter with Mellor in front 11 – 2.
Ned had made a number of great saves and along with the Mellor defence he continued to frustrate any efforts from Heaton Mersey to score. Yet another great run by George who having dodged a number of Heaton Mersey players fed it through to Jack L who put it away passed a goalie who had made a number of great saves throughout the game. A further goal for Josh, a good goal by Noah, and further goals for Joey and Jamie and it was all over. A convincing win by Mellor against a good natured and skilful Heaton Mersey.
Our unbeaten record in the league continues!!!
