On a bright Sunday morning at Bury Town’s home ground on 26 October 2025, the Wolves U11 side hosted MatchDay F.C. U11 Puma's Whites in a lively league encounter kicking off at 11:30am. The 9-a-side contest saw Bury Town Wolves run out convincing 7-2 victors after a commanding display across the 60 minutes plus added time.

Bury Town Wolves lined up in a 3-4-1 formation, deploying three defenders at the back, four midfielders across the middle, and a lone striker leading the line. Reece Moors guarded the goal, with Bailey Messenger patrolling the right flank, Eric Nevill anchoring the central defence, and Jacob Hewitt covering the left side. The midfield quartet featured Bryan Isokpehi on the right, Max Clark and Archie Ward centrally, and George Austin on the left, tasked with both defensive duties and supporting attacks. Leading the line was striker Leo Chowles, expected to spearhead the Wolves’ offensive efforts. On the bench, Micheal Morrison, Frankie Viccars, Rocco Lombardo, Bryce Eby, and Freddie Harris - Moon awaited their chance to impact the game.

From the first whistle, Bury Town Wolves set the tone with intense defensive work. Archie Ward intercepted early on, while Leo Chowles and Bryan Isokpehi executed timely tackles to disrupt the Puma’s Whites’ rhythm. The defensive resilience was mirrored by Eric Nevill and George Austin, who both made crucial tackles and clearances in the opening minutes. Leo Chowles also showed his creative side early, delivering flicked key passes to unlock the opposition’s defence.

The Wolves’ attacking intent soon bore fruit as Max Clark capitalised on a precise flicked pass from Archie Ward to score inside the box in the seventh minute. Clark’s goal was quickly followed by a series of incisive plays, including another flicked pass from him and a robust tackle to deny the opposition a chance. Eric Nevill came close to doubling the lead with a shot that rattled the crossbar, while Bryan Isokpehi’s efforts were thwarted by the opposing goalkeeper.

Defensively, the Wolves remained solid with Nevill and Ward blocking and tackling effectively to maintain control. Max Clark’s long passes and interceptions helped transition play swiftly, while George Austin’s tackles and attempts on goal kept the pressure high. Bailey Messenger’s interceptions and clearances were also vital in maintaining the defensive shape.

Despite the Wolves’ dominance, MatchDay F.C. Puma's Whites managed to pull one back just before the half-hour mark, scoring inside the box to briefly halt the Wolves’ momentum. However, Leo Chowles responded instantly with a skilful lob over the keeper, restoring the two-goal cushion before the break.

At half-time, the Wolves made a flurry of substitutions, bringing on Bryce Eby, Freddie Harris - Moon, Rocco Lombardo, Frankie Viccars, and Micheal Morrison to freshen the side. The changes did not disrupt the team’s rhythm as the new players quickly integrated, with Harris - Moon blocking and clearing crucial attempts and Lombardo contributing key flicked passes.

The second half saw continued dominance from Bury Town Wolves. George Austin scored an inside-the-box goal, assisted by Harris - Moon, extending the lead further. Though the Puma's Whites pulled a goal back at 41 minutes, the Wolves responded with a brilliant lob from Frankie Viccars, set up by Micheal Morrison, who was increasingly influential in midfield.

Viccars then added two more goals in quick succession, one assisted by Leo Chowles with a long pass and another following a neat team move orchestrated by Morrison. The Wolves’ attacking fluidity was evident as they combined slick flicked passes and incisive runs to dismantle the opposition defence.

Throughout the closing stages, the Wolves maintained their defensive discipline with strong tackles and clearances from Bryce Eby, Freddie Harris - Moon, and Bailey Messenger. Reece Moors was assured in goal, making several important catches to keep the clean sheet intact for much of the match.

Bryan Isokpehi remained a constant threat on the right midfield, creating chances and testing the opposition keeper with multiple saved attempts. The Wolves’ ability to control possession and create scoring opportunities was reflected in the final scoreline of 7-2.
