Under 10's do themselves proud at Stockport this Sunday

Amazing to see our youngest players in this friendly with Stockport.

When the final whistle blows and applause breaks out from both sets of spectators, you know something special has happened... a really enjoyable game had just taken place with Mellor running out 9-4 winners

These games are NOT about the score – they’re a chance for boys to wear the club kit and play “ real” opposition.
Mellor, fielding 12 boys from the age 7 to 9 went one nil down, but never trailed after that.

A terrific team effort, Jack made a couple of big saves in goal and cleared well, the other boys all rotated in all positions, and out fought Stockport from first whistle to last

The boys made a great account of themselves – they’re a chatty bunch to say the least but, come game time, they knuckle down and should be very proud of their performance.

A big thanks to our friends at Stockport for arranging this – we’ll return the favour in the New Year but this is a great way for the boys to get used to real game scenarios
