Under 13s make impressive bow
Both under 13s were in action at the weekend and made impressive debuts.
Urmston Hockey Club’s juniors made their debuts at the weekend with boys and girls competing in the under-13 age group for the first time
Mickey Keayrns kept two clean sheets as the team drew 0-0 with Bury and Timperley B while Sam Wood achieved the same feat between the sticks as the boys drew 0-0 with Stockport B.
Max Groves netted Urmston’s goal against Oldham after tireless build-up play by Captain Drew Ilsley and Daniel Bates in midfield.
They were edged in close defeats to Bowdon B and Stockport A 1-0 and 2-0 respectively despite solid defensive work by Joe Wilcox, Harvey Simpson, and Tom MacLead.
Maizie Lillie’s strong tackling was at the heart of the girls impressive defensive play while midfielders Mia Gwilym and Rosie O-Brien kept the engine room ticking with great power.
