As per usual, I will get directions to the away games. With the bad weather probably not far off, now is the time to check your email or the blogger every Friday night, to check if the game is still on. If your internet is down, then phone me - don't assume the match is on or off.

Hillgate Blues 0 Denton Town 9

Nicole Worthington - Since our last match, as I'm sure all of you know by now, Nic fell off a swing and broke her arm (wanted some time off school apparently). Nic won't be playing for us again until sometime in November, and her presence is missed at training and the matches. Get well soon, Nic.

Another comfortable win, which could have been more, if it wasn't for Alan trying players in different positions - which is good, because one day we may have no choice but to put players into positions they are not familiar with.
Hillgate did play well in parts, particularly their no5 Jamie-Lee, who we nominated as their player of the match. However, I felt that Hillgate resorted to being over physical at times, as they found it difficult to compete skill wise. This sort of tactic resulted in a penalty being award in the 60th minute, when Chelsea was brought down in the box. Unfortunately, Chelsea blasted the ball wide, but dont' let that distract from her termendous performance on the wing, where she was awesome. Keep up the good work Chels. Sam also did well to score late on, after having a bad knock during a collision with Hillgate's keeper. Nat as strong as ever in midfield, scoring 4 goals, and Yoyo did some excellent work playing in defence. This is when the goals were scored:-
3 mins 1-0 Yoyo
7 mins 2-0 Yoyo
11 mins 3-0 Georgia
15 mins 4-0 Sal
17 mins 5-0 Nat
20 mins 6-0 Nat
Half Time
47 mins 7-0 Nat
57 mins 8-0 Nat
60 mins missed pen
62 mins 9-0 Sam.

Nat was our player of the match from the opposition.

Wythenshawe Town 1 Denton Town 16

Another great result, even though you struggled to get to grips with the offside on a number of occasions. Six different scorers again, which is what we are after, because it means we are not relying on one or two players every match to score the goals. This is how the match went: -

9 mins 0-1 Yoyo
12 mins 0-2 Yoyo
16 mins 0-3 Natalie
22 mins 0-4 Yoyo
24 mins 0-4 Super save by Wythenshawe's keeper to deny Natalie's spot kick
27 mins 0-5 Yoyo
32 mins 0-6 Ruby
HALF TIME
40 mins 1-6 Fine goal by Wythenshawe
45 mins 1-7 Natalie
48 mins 1-8 Natalie
49 mins 1-9 Chloe B
51 mins 1-10 Georgia
53 mins 1-11 Georgia
56 mins 1-12 Natalie
58 mins 1-13 Natalie
59 mins 1-14 Natalie
61 mins 1-15 Natalie
67 mins 1-16 Sam

Wythenshawe nominated Natalie as our player of the match, and we in return selected their keeper, although their number six was a pretty close 2nd.

Next Saturday, you can all have a lie-in, as Benchill have folded. Our next game is away to Hillgate Blues on 30th Sept.

See you all on Tuesday.

Nigel.

RACE NIGHT

Will be a fun night for all the family.

Hope to see you there.

Sale United 0 Denton Town 14

I was looking forward to our 1st match of the season against Sale with some trepidation (nervousness), as they finished 3rd last season, as we did, and although we previously beat champions Deans and runners up Urmston Town, you never know quite what you are going to get at the start of a new season. Needn't have worried, as you were absolutely FANTASTIC - to a girl.

However, please keep your feet on the ground, it is a long season, and teams like Urmston Meds, Stockport and Deans are certainly going to be a stiffer test.

Just for interest the goals went like this: -
6 mins Georgia; 14 mins Yoyo; 15 mins Yoyo; 19 mins Georgia; 29 mins Ruby; 33 mins Sally; 35 mins Kay; 2nd half 41 mins Nat; 52 mins Lauren; 63 mins Yoyo; 66 mins Sam; 68 mins Chloe B; 69 mins Yoyo and 70 mins Sam. Nice to see so many different players scoring as well.

Player of the match from the opposition was Yoyo, and their player of the match was the number 6 - I think she was called Shannon.
