Isledon Wolves tightened their grip on the title with their 12th win on the spin in the Under-15s Harrow Youth League. Star player Abdul Mansaray grabbed a brace, while Kelsen Newell and Marcio Incopte were also on target in a thrilling 4-2 victory over Benfica.

Locomotive Youth overcame all the odds to record a resounding 7-1 victory away at Leyton United on Sunday in the Under-15s Premier Division of the Cheshunt Youth League.

With just the bare minimum  11 players and no regular keeper, the Camden-based side went into the tie with some trepidation.

Bilal Sayoud and Aaron Hammond scored two goals each, while Ej Gyebi, Euan Taylor-Reid and Jake Casey were also all on target.
