Hanham Minor League Under-11s: AEK Boco ran riot in their derby clash against Nicholas Wanderers with a 7-0 win.

They were only 1-0 up at half-time, through Bradley Wheadon, but took control after the break as goals from Georgina Lacey (2), Jack Robson (2), Matty Everidge (1) and a further goal from Wheadon sealed a comfortable win.

Boco's defence of Luke Withey, Keaton Lacey, Jack Madge and Charlie Pugsley were again outstanding, with Pugsley keeping another clean sheet.

Thornbury Falcons secured top spot in Division D thanks to a double win over Bristol Rovers Supporters Club Juniors.

Falcons got off to a flying start, with Kieron Bancroft going close in the opening minute before Asher Budd lobbed the keeper from 30 yards to put them in front. Within 60 seconds, a superb Phil Twinn free-kick ripped into the net to double the advantage.

The rest of the game was more even, but Ewan Sinclair and Josh Vokins allowed nothing to pass them, while Harry Pearce and Joe Randall created plenty of chances at the other end as Falcon ran out 2-0 victors.

Falcons wasted no time in asserting themselves in the second match and a classy attack ended with Jordan Saxton driving the ball into the bottom corner to open the scoring.

Arthur Severinsen blasted home a contender for goal of the season from 25 yards to make it 2-0 at half-time.

Keeper Dan Watkins, who demonstrated pace off his line and a safe pair of hands, kept BRSCJ at bay, while Matthew Thomas and Sam Hussey were solid in defence.

Harry Shipp's blistering speed and trickery ensured a comprehensive 3-0 victory as he went around the keeper to score in the last minute.

Rovers were always in contention and their man-of-the-match was Ross Budd for a solid display in midfield.

Division C promotion hopefuls Whitchurch proved too strong for a battling Fishponds Youth side, winning 5-1. Fishponds' only goal came from the hard-working Callum Slade and the final scoreline was slightly flattering.

Bradley Stoke Youth lost 3-1 at Whitchurch Sports A, with Josh Morris netting their only goal and Robert Tonge named man-of-the- match.

A Callum Carter hat-trick and two goals from George Kellow sealed a 5-1 win for Warmley Rangers A over Stoke Lane A.

Bromley Heath continued their recent run of good form, beating Bradley Stoke 1-0.

Both sides created chances in an open game but Heath's Mitch Brunning snatched the winner just after half-time, deftly knocking the ball over the keeper on the break. Heath's Thomas Burden took the man-of-the-match honours for his robust defending.
