Stockport could have been forgiven for thinking that this mornings match would play out the way our previous meetings had this season, victories for them. But...today they were outfought, outthought and outplayed. They may say they had an off day, they didn't play poorly, but the Mellor u12s played as well as they have all season.

Our season has now gathered a winning momentum and it was another fast start by the muddogs, adapting quicker to the heavy playing surface, 8-2 at the end of first quarter, a quarter that saw the boys move the ball with confidence and the goals scored were some of the best team goals we've scored this season.

The 2nd quarter was very similar and a 10 goal gap achieved. 14-4 at Half Time, complacency and tiredness could have crept in, nope! The muddogs wanted more and more.

We'll not get carried away, today's result may well have placed an even bigger target on our back. Let them try!
