But the hosts piled on the pressure prior to half-time and, despite some excellent goalkeeping by Devon Armiger, found the net twice to go into the break ahead.

The hosts maintained control in the second period and scored a further three times with Adam Beckett pulling a goal back with a fine strike from the edge of the area.

WARBOYS COLTS

WARBOYS under-13s beat Comberton Crusaders 1-0 in an absolutely belter game on Saturday.

Wright scored again in the second half and Jo Surgenor scored the third goal from a great header.

Warboys thought the game was in the bag when Callum Robertson scored a fourth - but there was time for their opponents to get one goal back from the penalty spot.
