Timperley U16s Match Report: Saturday 25th September

Timperley vs. Poynton.

Our first match of the season and the first match for the new combined team. Well, we had a steady start but then went 1 goal down but thanks to a Michael Bauer goal we ended even at the end of Q1 (1-1). The second quarter proved to be a similar story, with Poynton getting 2 more goals but fortunately Jack Cox did the business (2 goals), resulting in a 3-3 scoreline. Poynton grew in confidence in Q3 and we ended 3-4 down with an injured goalie, luckily James S was on standby and we went into the last quarter with all to play for. The team finally kicked into gear led by Cameron Parkes - illustrating in his play what being a good captain means! Cameron got 2 into the net, Tim Nicol got his first of what should be many this season and Jack got another one in. Despite Poynton pulling one back, Timperley were victorious with a final score of 7-5. Well done lads - as Cameron said - you left it a bit late, and we need to watch the catching and passing as there were too many errors. However, it's early in the season and we won!

U12A results week 1

Timperley A 20-0 Wilmslow
Timperley A 13-0 Poynton
Two very conclusive victories this morning, as the season finally got underway.
This team almost picks itself, with 10 players returning from last season's victorious A team, and it is simply a case of the new boys slotting into an already good team. It is evident that the whole team can handle the ball and we looked really effective in transition, with the ball moving effortlessly from defence, to midfield, to attack.
This team can really go places this season, but it has to remain focussed and do the fundamentals properly, even when we are winning by a huge score. We are good already, and we have 6 months of lacrosse to get even better. Given that the basics are already in place, this season will be a case of coaching the boys how to play their game at a higher level. This is the challenge I want to set for this team. Not just to win, but to win in a manner that will set them up for the U14 next season.
Today's goals
Cox 10, Loveland 8, Crosby 4, Callaghan 3, Robins 3, Hunn 2, Kinghorn 2, Townsley 1

TLC U14s vs. Maryland Express - Opening match

After all the excitment of the 'Maryland Express' arriving followed by the Mud Fest that is Manley Mere, TLC U14s faced their first match against our touring guests.

The rain had gone, the sun was shining....things were looking good. Would Timperely find their form? Had Maryland shaken off their jetlag?

Q1 saw 1 goal a piece: for TLC it was Tim 'nuke 'em Nicol who got Timperley on the scoresheet and Maryland's No 16 balancing the score.

Q2 saw Timperley lose the plot with Maryland's 19, 13, 15 & 16 doing the business, however Whirlwind Winton helped pull one back. 2-5 was the end of quarter score!

In Q3, Maryland's 22 got a further goal resulting in an end of quarter score of 2-6.

The last quarter and after a severe talking to from the coaches - would Timperley get back in the game? Despite a valiant goal from Jumpin' Joe Harris, 4 more hit the back of the net from Maryland 's 2, 19, and a double from No 8.

Final score TLC 3 Maryland 10. Timperley seemed to start well enough but their form and enthusiam waned whereas Maryland built in confidence and stormed to a clear victory. Well done Maryland and today you showed you were one hell of an Express!

U11 win 8 a side

Another piece of silverware was safely captured today, as the U11 won the 8 a side junior lax tournament held at Brooklands.
Bearing in mind all bar one of these boys played for the U12A last season we had reasonably high hopes for a win and it was a good chance to look at these boys competing against players their own age.
The tournament was a league where we would be playing 6 matches against all the other teams. We started off with 4 straight wins; Mellor (6-0), Rochdale (7-1), HMG (13-0), Brooklands (7-0). We then had a draw against Stockport (2-2) where we dominated the game but couldn't finish our chances. This meant our final game against Poynton was a winner takes all affair - they had lost once and we had our draw, so the winner of the game would win the tournament. The Timperley boys dug in for one final effort and came away with a 3-0 win to clinch the trophy.

All the boys played their part in the win today. Goals from Tom Cox 11, Ed Loveland 8, Joe Hunn 7, Adam Kinghorn 6, Will Callaghan 4 & Sam Hirst 2 did the damage up front, whilst the mean defence of Matthew Stewart, Dan Walker and Harun Wasim only conceded 3 goals all afternoon.

The U12/U11 trophies are mounting up.........
