THE silverware chase continued on Saturday as the cream of Camden and Islington’s footballers flocked to Regent’s Park for another day of cup finals and title deciders. 

Following on from our March 17 picture special, meet four more teams who celebrated a trophy triumph on Saturday in the Camden and Regent’s Park Youth League. 

Camden Elite Under-13s

Youngsters from Kentish Town Football Academy added more silverware to the shelf by coming from a goal down to beat Pro Touch Soccer Academy 2-1 in the Under-12s League Cup final. 

Town pulled level when one of Max Leach’s Rory Delap-style long throws into the box resulted in Denny Smith rifling the ball home from close range. 

With penalties looming, another of Leach’s testing-torpedo throw-ins was cleared to Smith, who fed the ball to Oscar Del Toro. 

Del Toro sent in a pinpoint ball across the face of the goal, where Ylli Nici was waiting to smash home the winner. 

Somers Town Future FC captured the Under-15s League Cup

Elsewhere, having lost three cup finals in recent years, Somers Town Future FC were finally celebrating at the sound of the final whistle as they beat Pro Touch Soccer Academy to capture the Under-15s League Cup. 

Second-half strikes from Ricky Callendar – a wonder free-kick from just outside the box – and Zac Coote, who lobbed the keeper, were enough to earn them a 2-0 win. 

In a thrilling Under-13s cup final, two goals from Rafiq Khaleel, along with strikes from Telmo Valerio and Binyam Mesfin, saw Camden Elite come back from 2-0 down to beat rivals FC Unity 4-2. 

They now join a list of teams who will be celebrating over Easter – including West End FC  Under-11s who, playing up an age group, finished as runners-up in the Under-12s League.
