BUDDING young footballers enjoyed a series of screamers, scintillating skills and scouts on Saturday as coaches from Premier League sides Watford and Norwich and Championship side Reading turned out to watch the action unfold in the Camden and Regent’s Park Youth League. 

It could prove good news for some of the league’s youngest stars, who showcased their talents unaware of the attention they were getting pitch side.

Three up: Tomi Obilana 

Among the stand-out players was striker Tomi Obilana, who scored a hat-trick as Pro Touch Soccer Academy beat Hampstead in the Under-9s Division. Spanish winger Joel Codinach also scored a wonder goal as he raced past two players before curling his shot into the top corner to wrap up an entertaining 4-0 victory. 

With talented young goalkeepers always high in demand, Taurian Phillips also put in an eye-catching performance as he helped Pro Touch bag a clean sheet.
