A last-minute switch to astro might have unnerved some teams, but Cheadle Hulme's U12 held their own in tough cup match against their Timperley counterparts.
Although the game ended 12-4 to the blues of Timperley, Cheadle Hulme put on a solid performance throughout.
Attack were supported well by a strong midfield, with standout plays from Dylan S, TJ, Freddie H and Ihab.
Defence worked tirelessly to keep out more opportunities from Timperley's attack, with goalie Dillan being dubbed 'man of the match' by the opposition coaches for his countless saves and endless determination.
At the other end of the field, new players Will and Ben made their presence felt in attack, showing lots of potential against Timperley's defence.
And while the result might not have gone in Cheadle Hulme's favour, the entire team came together and showed great attack and defence against a strong Timperley side.
Goals: Will, George, Freddie H and Ihab.
