Mellor Primary School through to NW Pop Lacrosse Finals

Mellor Primary School through to NW Pop Lacrosse Finals

Martin Mochan15 Feb 2017 - 17:13

Brilliant unbeaten performance by the boys and girls at the Stockport finals today at Reddish Vale

With Jack Royle & Jamie Mochan going down with last minute illness Josh Myers and George Shonfeld carried the can for the boys with out brilliant Under 11 girls - Eve Brady, Leah Yuill, Alice Thompson and Katie Mayer.

Its a fast and furious version of lacrosse but our players are becoming really strong at moving the ball and taking their chances. At times today their play was mesmerising and, although only 6 minute games, the early games saw them beat High Lane School 10 - 1, Neville Road Primary School 5 - 2 before a tight draw 5 - 5 against Tithe Barn ( a Heaton Mersey school.)

They topped the group with a 10 - 4 win against Norris Bank before beating Didsbury Road 6 - 1 in the semi final - no mean feat considering the quality of players they had within their team.

... and so to the final against Torkington Primary School. With both teams automatically qualified for the North West Finals this was just for pride but Mellor notched up a 7 - 3 victory to top off a fantastic day for the school. Scoring more than 40 goals in a little over half an hour of game time is no mean feat - well done to those that took part.

Roll on the next stages and lets hope they can get to the Nationals later this Spring
