LODDON GRASSHOPPERS U16 travelled to Caister and after a slow start went a goal down until the captain John Riches scored a stunning equaliser to see the half-time score at 1-1. Loddon came out for the second half for Ali Harrison to score a stunning strike from 30 yards for Loddon to take the lead. Ali scored two further goals for his first hat-trick for his club, and Shane Smith netted the remaining two goals to see Loddon win 6-1.
WASPS U12A put in a great performance against Hempnall despite missing two key players. Callum, Will, Steven and Cieran were outstanding in midfield. Regin and Olly never stopped chasing whilst the defence fully deserved another clean sheet. The match was settled just before half-time when George ran onto a fine ball from Olly and rounded the keeper before slotting home. Wasps dominated the match to win 1-0.
