01/09/04 Holmes Chapel 7 - 3 Bollington United
Bollington United Under 14's matched the East Cheshire League champions for an hour, but then tired as the hosts run in late goals for a 7-3 lead. In a close first-half, Gary Chapman equalised for Bolly and after Holmes Chapel again took the lead, Ryan Foster headed home a Chapman cross for 2-2.
With ten minutes to go Holmes Chapel scored twice only for Gary Chapman to fire in a great left foot shot bringing Bolly back to 4-3. But Bolly grew tired and let in 3 late goals to give a somewhat unfair final score-line. Bolly can take heart from a great performance particularly from MOTM Dave Murphy.

08/09/04 Bollington United 0 - 2 Priory County
Bollington United under-14s put in a tremendous performance against their local rivals Priory County in a friendly encounter. The sides were evenly matched throughout and it was hard to believe that the visitors are 2 divisions above Bollington. Bolly had Tim Dalzell and Ben Hardy to thanks for goal-line clearances before Priory edged ahead 1-0 at half-time.
Both defences were on top in the second-half with Adam Young and Ethan Kavanagh-Eyres in fine form for Bolly. With United pressing hard for an equaliser, the visitors broke to score a late second, but Bolly can go into the season with confidence after this fine team display. Declan Stevenson was MOTM for a whole-hearted display as captain.
12/09/04 Chinley 2 - 4 Bollington United
Newly promoted Chinley gave Bollington a shock when they made an impressive start and took a 1-0 lead in the opening league game of the season. In the second of ten minutes of injury time in the first half, Ben Hardy poked home after a corner to get Bolly back on level terms. Leading scorer Gary Chapman rounded the keeper to score, then fired home a left-foot drive as Bolly began to dominate in the second half. The hosts scored another good goal to keep the pressure on at 2-3, before Chapman beat the offside trap to complete his hat-trick in a 4-2 win for United. Ben Hardy was voted MOTM by his team mates and they were other good performances from Josh Henshaw in goal, Ethan Kavanagh-Eyres at the heart of the defence and from James Wood who linked up well with Gary Chapman in attack.

Adam Wilson then sent Gary Chapman through to give Bolly a 3-2 lead at half-time.
South Manchester equalised again before the goal-of-the-game was scored by Ryan Foster. Gary Chapman broke down the right and crossed. The ball was going slighly behind Ryan who swivelled and hit a cracking scissor kick volley high into the top corner. Even the referee applauded! Bolly then stretched the lead when a lovely chip from David Murphy sent Gary through to clinch his hat-trick. This goal was needed as South Manchester scored again three minutes from time. Bolly held on, however, for a deserved win.
