Late, Late Show Gives Reds Three Pontin's Points



Pontin's Holidays League
Chester City 0 Manchester United 1
A last-minute strike from Mads Timm kept United at the top of the Pontin's League table.

Going into stoppage time level, the Reds looked set to slip into second place behind Oldham Athletic who beat Wrexham 3-1.

However, Danish striker Timm exchanged passes with Ritchie Jones before firing home the goal that consolidated United's one-point lead over the Latics.

It was the only real talking point of a dour game in perishing Chester weather as United's Tom Heaton and City keeper Wayne Brown both performed admirably to keep the scoresheet blank.

Colin Heath did manage to beat Brown in the 80th minute, only to see his effort crash against the City bar.

That seemed to be the final episode of a frustrating afternoon for United, until Timm popped up to save the day.

Does anyone have the team lineup for the Chester game?
 
Richardson, Cooper and Eagles all scored for their loan clubs (West Brom, Oldham and Watford) at the weekend.

Well done lads.
 
Reds Hunt Top Spot After Defeating Liverpool

FA Premier Academy League
Manchester United 1
Liverpool 0
Trafford Training Centre, Carrington


Fraizer Campbell got the decisive goal to defeat bottom-placed Liverpool on Saturday as United continue to chase first place in Group C of the Premier Academy League.

The Under18s kept up the pressure on leaders Blackburn Rovers - United's opponents next weekend in a top of the table clash - with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Liverpool.

After a scrappy start to the first half United began to take control of possession, although the final pass proved somewhat elusive in the early stages.

Jonny Evans impressed with his aerial dominance and composure on the ball at the centre of United's defence, while Darron Gibson orchestrated the team's attacking moves in the middle of the park.

Gibson engineered two of United's best chances in the first half, one of which led to Campbell's goal.

The Derry-born midfielder possesses a powerful shot and after 20 minutes saw his low 25-yard strike rebound off the post.

With Liverpool offering very little in riposte and the solid Reds back four of Simpson, Evans, Shawcross and Kieran Lee mopping up any opposition attacks that did arise, United were in the ascendency.

The breakthrough came after 26 minutes. Gibson flighted a free-kick - awarded 25 yards out and just left of centre - into the heart of Liverpool's penalty area. United striker Fraizer Campbell met the ball with a firm header to put the home side in front.

Francisco Filho's side played impressive possession football and very rarely offered Liverpool a goalscoring opening. But Liverpool proved stubborn at the back and United couldn't convert their use of the ball into more goals.

The introduction of Jamie Mullan in the second half offered an outlet for the Reds. The Nottingham-born winger immediately provided three dangerous crosses for Fraizer Campbell to aim at.

Mullan almost provided the Campbell's second of the match on 72 minutes. The striker from Huddersfield met Mullan's centre with an acrobatic scissor kick, which, had it been either side of the keeper, would surely have doubled United's lead.

The scoreline remained 1-0. But with United and Blackburn level on points, the Reds have given themselves a chance of moving top next Saturday away to Rovers.

Campbell's goal was his ninth of the season. The young striker told MUTV after the game: "It's always good to score goals but the most important thing was that we keep up the pressure on Blackburn at the top of the table.

Of his nine goals this term, Campbell said: "I don't know the secret to it. I'm just getting in the right places at the right time."

United starting XI: Crockett; Simpson, Shawcross, J Evans, K. Lee; Marsh (Mullan, 64), Gibson, Rose, S Evans; Gray (Puustinen, 79), Campbell (Moran, 79).

Subs not used: Heaton (GK), Aaron Burns.

Goal: Fraizer Campbell (26)

Webber: Eagles has landed


Watford striker Danny Webber admits he has not been surprised by the quality of Manchester United midfielder Chris Eagles.

The 19-year-old winger was signed during the transfer window on a three-month loan deal - and has impressed his new colleagues with his assured displays.

"I can't say I've been surprised by what he has done," said Webber a former Old Trafford graduate.

"He's been very good for us since he signed.

"He can play anywhere across the middle and is providing a little bit more class in that department, which is good for the team," he added.

It seems like the team was wrong.
Bardsley played as full back so he is back after 6 months injury!

From some Birmingham site i found this:

Blues Reserves were comprehensively beaten by Manchester Utd Reserves on Monday evening.



In front of a decent size crowd at St Andrew's, Keith Bertchins side slipped further away in the title race, going down 3-0 to Ricky Sbragia's free scoring Red Devils side whose win see's them leapfrog Blues in the Barclays Premiership Reserves League table.

What made the result even more surprising was that the Blues boss fielded such experienced players as Darren Anderton, Robbie Blake, Darren Carter and Tiny Taylor whilst his United counterpart sent out a team made up mostly of youth team players!


Blues: Vaesen, Parratt, Alsop, Oji, Martin Taylor, Carter, Robbie Blake, Anderton, Kuqi, Barrowman, Motteram. Subs: Legzdins, Birley, Till, Painter, Hall

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake broke his leg and is out for rest of season so I think Poole moved into the middle alongside Rossi which i think is his best position.

Heath played alongside Timm and Poole was on the right.
 
Tom Heaton made 2 top drawer saves. The first when Brum's lumbering centre forward Kuqi timed a run correctly and was not offside. He came through one-on-one but shot quite early from outside the area but Tom got down low to his left and just got fingertips on it to push it wide.

The next save was absolutely unbelievable. I doubt that I have ever seen a better stop 'live' before. Cross came from their left, well directed so their attacker (maybe Kuqi again) rose and headed powerfully from no more than 5 yards out. Tommy scrambled from near to his right post, as the cross was struck, across to dive full length and grab the goalbound header near to his left post. Stunning save. Just brilliant.

On the other hand their keeper Vaesen had a mare and could be blamed for all 3 of our goals. First was a tame shot spilled for Poole to tap in rebound. Then Heath closed him down when he received a backpass. His first touch was good but he then, inexplicably took a heavy touch as he was moving the ball out from his feet so that he could kick downfield. Colin nipped in and stole it and then very calmly took a couple of touches before slotting from a narrow angle with Vaesen vainly trying to get back. The final one was a good strike from Flo that he got down to and got his hand to but failed to divert it sufficiently to keep it out. Bad day at the office for him whereas our Tommy was stunningly good.
 
Pontin's Holiday Reserve League
Manchester United 3 Macclesfield 1
Hyde United FC

6pmsc


United overcame a Rooney-inspired Macclesfield Town in the Pontin's League, thanks to three superb long-range strikes.

Even the visitors' solitary reply, from Wayne Rooney's cousin Tommy Rooney, was a blockbusting effort from 30 yards.

The Reds moved into the lead on 20 minutes through Markus Neumayr's 25-yard free-kick, which hurtled into the top corner of the Macc goal.

Six minutes later, Danish striker Mads Timm doubled the hosts' lead with a looping shot from outside the box.

Rooney halved the arrears ten minutes before half-time as his brilliant strike beat United keeper Tim Howard.

The game was put out to bed on 73 minutes, however, when David Bellion restored the Reds' two-goal cushion, cutting in from the left wing to fire home from 20 yards.

The result ensures United remain atop the Pontin's Holiday League.

UNITED'S reserves consolidated their place at the top of Pontin's Holidays League Division One with a thumping win over Macclesfield last night at Hyde's Ewen Fields.

German youngster Markus Neumayr gave United the lead, in the 20th minute, with a cracking free-kick.

The Reds lead was increased by Mads Timm, six minutes later, when he scored with a looping shot.

Tommy Rooney - United striker Wayne's younger cousin - pulled one back for the visitors, ten minutes before the break, with a thunderous 30 yard drive which gave Tim Howard no chance.

But David Bellion ensured United's continued residence at the top of the table 17 minutes from time with another long range effort after gliding past a couple of Macclesfield defenders.

I understand that it was live on MUTV, but you'll probably know that already.

DJ on the road back to fitness after injury sustained against city (I think). Hence starting from bench, looked good when he came on though - like he'd never been away.

Hope that helps.
