After a fairly dry week we finally got to play on the school pitch for the first time this season. The coaches decided early that they were going to make a game of it by offering some of our better players to Poynton and it wasn’t long into the first quarter that Jamie Mochan opened the score line for Poynton.
George was up to his usual standard and quickly replied with a goal for Mellor followed by a couple more solo efforts and scoring all 3 of the Mellor goals in the first quarter which ended Mellor 3 - Poynton 2
The second quarter was Mellor’s with further goals from George, Josh and a great solo effort following a long run by Will. Poynton only managed one goal in this quarter due to some nifty goalkeeping by Fredrick.
Mellor 8 – Poynton 3 at the end of the second quarter.
Following half time Poynton were offered a few more Mellor players and things started to warm up with Poynton winning this quarter 4 goals to Mellor’s 3 ending the quarter Mellor still comfortably in front 11 – 6.
The final quarter started to get a little worrying for Mellor as both George and Josh knowing how to fox our own defence, were scoring goals for Poynton bringing them within just one goal of equalising. The Mellor defence dug in and managed to hold on to the lead.
A good entertaining game for the spectators, made better by some great sportsmanship by those Mellor players who gave there all for Poynton.
Mellor 13 – Poynton 11
