JACK Hallam scored five goals when Brampton Spartans under-10s Orange team beat Stilton United Colts 7-4 on Saturday, despite their visitors going 2-0 up.

After the second goal, in the 15th minute, changes were made and Brampton applied constant pressure for the remainder of the half with Hallam scoring two goals in quick succession to send the teams into the break all square.

The Brampton pressure continued in the second half and there were three further goals for Hallam, as well as a goal each from Reece Smith and Cameron Gillespie.

Tomas Hardcastle also made a series of brilliant saves to keep Stilton at bay – but neither he nor Hallam were named man of the match, that honour went to Ollie Elvin for his work in midfield where he was constantly breaking up Stilton’s play and feeding the ball forward.

Spartans under-12s beat Alconbury Colts Blue 7-1 in the Hunts Youth League Cup on Sunday.

Alconbury had two good chances within minutes of the restart but Squire got number four before Alconbury pulled one back from the penalty spot.

ALCONBURY

ALCONBURY Colts Blue under-9s suffered their first defeat of the season when they were edged out 7-6 in a thrilling friendly at St Ives Rangers Blue.

In the end they lost 3-2 after the hosts had taken an early lead with a fine lob.

Four minutes later Rovers were up against it as Baldock doubled their lead with another fine strike. It was 3-0 when an unmarked Baldock player headed in from a corner just before half-time. With nothing to lose, Eynesbury came out for the second half and Ryan Vale scored from the spot after Dominic Smith had been felled.

After being reduced to 10 men following a sending off, Vale chased a seemingly lost ball and squared it for Matty Allen to score.

The goal was far too little too late though with the referee ending proceedings seconds later.

At the restart, Mildenhall started the brighter of the two teams, and pulled another goal back, while a long-range free-kick from James Osborne was well saved onto the crossbar.

However, it was Bennett’s day and the ball bounced into the striker’s path for his fourth of the game.

Mildenhall scored again for 5-3 but, with the game coming to an end, Bennett created some space for himself on the edge of the box and struck the ball with a well-placed shot into the top corner of the net.

After a tough opening 10 minutes the visitors found their form and began to knock the ball around with strong performances down the wings from Morris Seaton and George Barker.

With 10 minutes to go in the first half it was Seaton who cut in from the left to set up Cameron Fone who scored a great goal from 20 yards out.

St Neots pushed for an equaliser in the second half and tested Callum Fielding in goal, who made some great stops to keep the home team out, so it was Duloe who took the points to keep St Neots without a win.
