Hayfield Juniors 6 - 3 High Lane Juniors

Hayfield girls (ages 9-11) met High Lane as both sides competed in their first match on Sunday the 12th of May. The game was played in front of a large crowd in excess of 50 including ‘Deano the Deer’ the High Lane mascot.

High lane playing in purple started the match and took the lead 5 minutes into the first period when the defence marshalled by Maya Lancaster, Audrey Nicholson and Hannah Dunn was beaten. Hayfield equalised immediately from the restart when Amelia Bates and Holly Wilde combined down the left before the ball was crossed for Ella Stewart to equalise with a powerful shot from close range. Shortly after the restart Hayfield took the lead when Gemma Bowers weaved through and dispatched the ball into the bottom left hand corner.

Hayfield replaced six players for the second period and increased their lead to 4-1 within five minutes. The attacking trio of Millie Whitlow, Freya Bates and Charlotte Peacock pressured High Lane allowing Gemma Bowers to score. A minute later Gemma completed her hat-trick with the goal of the game. The goalkeeper’s clearance was dispatched back into the top right hand corner from 18 yards. High Lane scored next when the solid defence of Emily Turnbull and Madison Bowers was finally breached allowing High Lane a clear shot on Caitlin Lever's goal. Charlotte Peacock restored the three goal lead by dribbling past several players before placing the ball across the keeper into the bottom right corner.

During the third and final 20 minute period each of Hayfield's players was given another ten minutes to play in a different position. Both sides scored again, Hayfield's goal coming from midfield maestro Gemma Bowers.
The standard of football played by the 20 High Lane and 13 Hayfield players in their debut game was exceptional. Both sides kept a solid formation throughout.

The game was refereed by High Lane's coach, Dave Aitken.

Solid Performance for the Girls

Hayfield Girls U13’s 0 - 1 Darley Dale Girls U13’s

Hayfield entertained League leaders Darley Dale for only their second game in 11 weeks.

The first half saw Hayfield defending under heavy ground conditions with a cross field wind making passing football virtually impossible. The game was contested in midfield with Georgia Bull, Megan Pritchard and Quinn Aris-Sutton all working tirelessly in front of a defence of Maisie Goddard, Imogen Wilson and the outstanding Tulisha Griffiths who held the Darley attack at bay until a hopeful ball into the area saw Maisie Goddard deflect it past her own keeper into the far corner of the net.

0-1 at half-time gave Hayfield hope for the second half but despite the continuing team effort and runs of forwards Amy Vandermotten and Katie Brookes there was little to threaten the Darley goal. Lydia Waterhouse made a string of fine saves in the Hayfield goal especially when thwarting a one-on-one situation with a double save and another pushed onto the post before rolling across the goal-line and being cleared. Hayfield can take great satisfaction from a solid all-round team performance which had Darley Dale on edge right till the final whistle.

U12’s respond in devastating fashion!

Bramhall North Eagles 1 - 9 Hayfield Juniors

After a disappointing game last week Hayfield U12’s were looking to bounce back to winning ways.  

The game began with Hayfield displaying blistering attacking confidence. Excellent wing play from Dan Soles and hat-trick scoring Man of the Match Joe Brooks kept Bramhall at bay throughout. 

Hayfield showed their strength with Kane Marshall, Joe Brooks, Connor Lyons, Anthony Thorp and Sam Lomas all scoring in a fast paced first half.

A minutes silence was observed implacably at half-time by both sets of players, coaches and parents of both teams.

In the second half, Hayfield continued where they left off in the first half and added a further 4goals. Hayfield's defence stayed alert throughout, stopping any Bramhall attacks and protecting their goal superbly, in what was a well mannered and matured performance.

U12's Win Again!

Inter-cheadle JFC West 1 - 4 Hayfield Junior under 12s

Hayfield got off to a flying start thanks to Dale Ward smashing home his first Hayfield goal.

Hayfield doubled their lead just before the break with Dan Soles scoring from the tightest of angles.

With M.O.T.M Kane Marshall covering every inch of the pitch and Hayfields back four standing firm it was only a matter of time before striker Josh Harwood sealed a deserved Hayfield victory with two more goals.

Hayfield U12's just keep matching on!!!

Hayfield Juniors 5 - 1 Hazel Grove United

Hayfield made a flying start against Hazel Grove when Dan Soles scored with only minutes on the clock. Soles then turned provider with some classic wing play, not only to embarrass his marker but then to produce a pin-point cross for Anthony Thorp to score with a bullet diving header to make it 2-0.

Some resolute defending and very good goalkeeping kept Hazel Grove at bay and ensured Hayfield reached half-time 2 goals to the good.

Josh Harwood struck seconds into the second half with a very well constructed goal making it 3-0 before Hazel Grove struck on the break to make it 3-1

However, Hayfield re-grouped and Harwood restored the 3 goal advantage with another fine strike and then minutes late Joe Brooks scored with a fine low drive.

Another great performance by Hayfield, showing that they are getting better and stronger with each game.

Hayfield Juniors U12s 5 Hattersley 4

This was going to be Hayfields toughest game so far this season as they were playing a team 2 divisions above them.

Hattersley came out on top in the first half, putting away their chances to lead 3-1 at half time with Joe Brooks firing in Hayfields only goal.

Early in the second half Hattersley increased their lead to 4-1.

Isaac young started Hayfields fight back with 2 goals before Archie Critchlow played a great through ball to Dan Soles who leveled the game.

With just 30 seconds left and extra time looming Kane Marshall broke free and cooly slotted home the game winner in a truly memorable Hayfield victory.

I felt like doing a José Mourinho (at Old Trafford) so I did!
