Northwich U9s vs Helsby

A fantastic almost record turnout for the Northwich U9s greeted their visitors from Helsby to a damp and muddy Moss Farm. With the Northwich team having previously visited Helsby earlier in the season, the children were looking forward to catching up with old friends.

It was soon made clear that Helsby had put in many hours of hard training since the teams last met, offering a disciplined and organised line of defence that the home team struggled to break through. However the children learnt to break the defence by spinning the ball wide and making effective use of their quickest runners.

Two fantastic games were played throughout the morning with a narrow win to the visitors. Helsby were congratulated for their excellent sportsmanship and good humour, with the teams looking forward to meeting again later in the season.

Northwich Man of the Match was awarded to Ash K for his humour and determination however it was pleasing to see the team continuing to gel and develop as a unit.

Team: Jake, Fin, Kyle, Cathal, Ash K, Ash R, Tom, Jack & Connor
