Under 9 Blue: Chapelfields Colts took a well-deserved 2-0 half time at Brinklow thanks to Curtis Cutts and Matty Seddon. Cutts and Jack Sweeney doubled the score to 4-0 in the second half as the Colts ‘keeper, William James, defied the Brinklow attack to keep a clean sheet.

Under 10 Red: Tom O’Callaghan put Chapelfields Colts in front following a first half corner kick in a tight game with Christ the King. The Kings deservedly equalised midway through the second half when Taylor McGregor scored from the edge of the goal area. Neither side could break the other down and honours ended even at 1-1. Finham Park Rangers and Ernesford Dynamos also shared the same score after their first half had ended goalless. The Dynamos took the lead when Jack Dobson got free of the Finham defence to strike a low shot past Gareth Price in the Finham goal. Finham struck straight back as James Corrigan, Cieran McGrory and Lewis Edwards took the ball forward only for Edwards to be fouled inside the Ernesford penalty area. Taking the spot kick himself, he levelled the score. Despite further pressure by the visitors, the points were shared.

Under 10 Blue: Christ the King saw all of their outfield players’ score during a 12-0 defeat of local rivals Coundon Cockerels. The Cockerels turned around at half time trailing by seven goals before putting on a spirited second half display forcing Stephen Hunt in goal to save several times. Jake Wells, Charlie Owen and Thomas Gummery scoring twice for the Kings. Athletic United took a 2-0 lead against AT7 Youth and then grabbed a third as the Youth pushed forward in an attempt to pull a goal back themselves. The final 3-0 result reflected overall the flow of the game. Mount Nod Highway made a slow start against Morris Rangers but once Charlie Cook had given them the lead they took control. Lewis Power added a second, James Chappell nodded in the third, Cook grabbed a fourth and then man of the match, Jimmy Swain, flicked the ball over head, turned to beat two defenders before placing the ball low into the Morris net for the fifth. Daniel Jenkins opened the scoring for Dunlop against London Road but were pegged back almost immediately. Ricardo Calderello restored the Dunlop lead only for the Lions to make the score 2-2 at half time. In the second half, both teams kept passing the ball around but it was Dunlop who went back in front as Calderello notched his second and the 4-2 win was secured with a Thomas Parker effort in the closing minutes. Coventry Jaguar and Coventry Sphinx enjoyed a fast flowing game that the Sphinx edged 3-2. Aaron Jones making his return after a broken elbow put the Jaguar in front only for the Sphinx to equalise. Two second half strikes appeared to have made the game safe for the Sphinx but Daniel Carlyon pulled one goal back as the Jaguar drove forward and then a header from Amman Sarkaria was cleared off the line in a frantic finish.

Under 11A: Christ the King proved too strong for Coundon Cockerels in a 6-1 win. Central defender Joe Clough not only marshalled the Kings defence but also managed two assists as well. Jaymie Trickett led the way with four goals, Charlton McBride netted with a bullet header with Luke Cohen calmly hitting number five after being put through by Clough. The ever dangerous Natasha Miles, a constant threat for the Cockerels grabbed a well deserved consolation goal for her team. Finham Park took the game to London Road and Sean Kirkwood netted after fifteen minutes turning in a long throw by Aaron Manak. Despite further pressure Finham were unable to add a second and had goalie, Benedict Poole to thank for conserving their half time lead. In the second half, London Road were not to be denied scoring twice for a 2-1 win although Finham came close near the end when Tom Annett saw a header turned over the crossbar. Good sportsmanship was the order of the day for AT7 and Brinklow. The villagers raced into a 2-0 lead but goalkeeper M. Wilby was kept busy by the AT7 team. An own goal made it 3-0 at half time but the Youth never gave up and pulled two goals back but just could not grab a third.
