Jack Milsom scored his first goal in six seasons as Henbury Colts beat Brislington 2-1 to record their first win of the Under-16 Division I season.

Brislington took the lead on 10 minutes with a Jedd Hunt free-kick, and that was how it stayed until half-time, despite both sides creating chances.

A fine passing move down the left between Luke Cox and Sean Heal on 60 minutes resulted in Tom Palmer equalising for Henbury from 10 yards.

Henbury's Luke Lockyer and Brislington's Sam Noble both hit the woodwork in the last 10 minutes as play swept from end to end.

With the game looking like ending in a draw, a deep free-kick from Jack Mills found Milsom in space to head the ball over Jake Edmonds and into the top corner of the net for his first goal since his Under-10s days.

Bristol Rovers Supporters completed their first double of the season by winning 4-1 at Keynsham Town.

A Nathan Shipp free-kick picked out Joe Durrant, who rose well to head home the opener from four yards. Although Rovers piled on the pressure after that, they had to wait until the 22nd minute mark when the same combination struck. Another great free-kick from Shipp found Durrant, who nodded home his second of the day.

There was barely time for Durrant to get his breath back as Devaughn Martin powered through the home side's defence to make it 3-0. The impressive Shipp then laid on a great ball to Billy Bond, who chipped the keeper but was denied by the crossbar.

Keynsham's Ryan Moore pulled a goal back for the home side, but just before the interval Rovers' Ben Cush was fouled in the box and Dom Haugh-Stewart scored from the spot to complete the scoring.

Shire Colts hit top form at last as they raced to a 7-0 victory over Bradley Stoke Youth in Under-14 Division IV.

They dominated the game from the start, producing some fine football. After an own goal had handed them a head start, goals from Sam Khavandi and Billy Richardson gave them a 3-0 half-time cushion before four more goals from Dan Warren, James Bojski, Ben Mogg and Charlie Luff-Rogers ensured an emphatic victory.

Louis Pratt, Dan Notley, Luke Andrews and Liam Crew were all on target as Keynsham Town B pipped Shire Colts 4-3 in an exciting Under-13 Division III tussle.
