Stockport Eagles vs Team GM

The problem with new teams is that the guys who want to run the team don’t always know how reliable their new team mates are going to be. With that in mind, a very different looking Team GM took on a very familiar looking Stockport Eagles team as the Eagles looked to build on last weeks impressive showing against the league leaders The McMuffin Men.

Team GM had gotten off to a nightmare start last week, and the same happened here as Ben Waugh and Michael Winn put the Eagles 2-0 up in the first 5 minutes. It was 3-0 on 14 minutes as Paul Waugh got himself on the score sheet, but Ryan McAndrew pulled one back for GM a minute later. He got a second a couple of minutes after that, and it was 3-3 at the break when Callum Jones levelled up two minutes before the interval.

Ben Waugh restored the Eagles lead two minutes into the second period, but again GM hit back through Jones’ second of the game. GM hit the front for the first time with 19 minutes remaining as McAndrew got his third, but it was the Eagles turn to come from behind as they scored the final goal of the game two minutes from time through Alex Patterson to end an entertaining game in a competitive draw.

Under Rated FC vs FC AOTS

Under Rated looked to maintain their 100% record this week against an AOTS team who’ve probably not produced the results we expected of them this season as we would have been expecting this to be a promotion battle at the start of the season.

As it was AOTS had lost more than they’d won going into this weeks game, and it looked like being another in the ‘L’ column when Steven Batho scored two in a minute to put Under Rated two up inside the opening 10 minutes. AOTS hit back through two Eoghan Scott goals in the space of 5 minutes, but Batho got his third to quickly get Under Rated back in front. Just as quickly AOTS drew level again as Charlie Hutchinson scored their third to send a tight game in at half time all square at 3-3.

The second half was even tighter, and it took 11 minutes for AOTS to take the lead for the first time through Ben Jamieson’s finish, and with something to hold onto they set about seeing the game out. Under Rated built up the pressure and created chances, before eventually taking one through Colin Stelfox’s finish 7 minutes from the end to give us a potential big finish. Pretty much straight from kick off AOTS burst through, only for the ball to eventually go into the net off the foot of an Under Rated player. This time they were able to hold on for a win that all of a sudden puts a small amount of doubt as to whether Under Rated will cruise to a title they looked to have won already.
