Under-11s Challenge Cup
THE hat-tricks were flowing in on Monday as The Heath powered past Springfield in the first round of the cup.

Hotshot Cameron Hannah led the charge as he scored a timely treble in the first half, while strike partner James Taylor scored three in the second half. Dion Sfarca just missed out on a hat-trick as he scored two in the 8-0 win.

Under-13s Challenge Cup
ISLEDON Wolves went goal-crazy in their cup clash against Lyndhurst at Market Road.

William Sousa must of thought he had done enough to earn all the plaudits as he scored four first half goals. But incredibly team-mate Nicky Marshall went one better as he fired in five.

Alfie Lusardi chipped in with a brace, while Teon Levy-Wright and Ali Mede were also on target in a 13-0 victory.

Under-16s Challenge Cup
IT finished all square on Monday night as the Battle of Lyndhurst ended in a six-goal thriller in the group stages of the cup.

Lyndhurst Eagles took the lead courtesy of a clinical finish from Daniel Leonard, but the Lyndhurst Lions quickly equalised through Tommy Smith.

Leonard fired the Eagles back in front with his second of the game. But a neat finish from Felix Romer ensured that the scores were level at the break.

The Lions took the lead for the first time in the game when Shane Rice scored in the second half. But a great header from Jack Madden earned the Eagles a deserved share of the spoils as the game ended 3-3.
