Alconbury Blues took a two-goal lead against Brampton and though a Jordan Locke strike cut the deficit they held on to win 2-1.

Ramsey A and B both went down to the Rowdies. The A side lost 4-0 to Rowdies K while Rams B found life even tougher, losing 6-0 to Rowdies F. Scorers included Freddie Francis, Hugo Silva and Kieran Kirschner, but the goal of the day came from goalkeeper Lewis Edmunds, who netted in a brief outfield appearance.

U12

NEEDINGWORTH Yellow tamed the Willingham Wolves to record a fine 4-0 win.

Andrew Brock was the player with the golden boots as he netted all four. To the Wolves’ credit they crashed off the woodwork twice in the second half as the Needingworth goal led a charmed life.

Needingworth Blue were five down after a first half to forget against Haverhill. Strikes from Adam Parmenter, Callum Sheppeard and captain Olly Mead during a second-half revival made the 5-3 defeat more palatable.

An injury to the St Ives Rangers A goalkeeper inside five minutes proved to be costly as hosts Newmarket ran up a 5-0 scoreline despite Rangers’ best efforts.

Oliver Curliss-Ackrill and Adam Dawson bagged one each for Priory Parkside but Soham pulled away to win 6-2.

The Rovers goals had come from Farris Alston with a brace, Shay Gaynor and Sean Olley.

Priory Parkside B and C met in an opening-day encounter and early play was disjointed as both teams fielded new players. Eventually both teams found their game and after a good tussle Priory B won the match 2-1.

Sam Pritchard and Matthew Allen bagged the goals for the B team and Peter Fenley was on the mark for the C side.

U15

RAMSEY’S Gage Webb and Josh England bagged a goal apiece but Rams still lost 4-2 against Spartak B.

A 4-2 opening-day win for Brampton Spartans over Cherry Hinton Lions was reward for the Spartans’ organization and persistence. After early Lions pressure, Chris Parker hit the opener and Dom Stevens quickly doubled the advantage.

Goals from Pharris Jude and Reece Mole gave the Rowdies a 2-1 win and the points against Spartek 78. Rowdies controlled most of the match but a lapse allowed the visitors to make the score look closer than it should have been.

Ramsey reached double figures against Little Paxton. Luke Sterna slammed home five goals, Josh Eyre netted twice and Dan Aubin, Matt Bye and Oliver Wright all got on the scoresheet in the 10-4 win.
