Matthew has the final word

Sefton Park roared back from a first-half deficit to beat Fishponds OB 2-1 in Under-11 Division A.

Jacob Pinnock fired Fishponds in front just before the break but Sefton had the benefit of the wind in the second half and made it count when Matthew Hazell drove home the equaliser from outside the box. With the seconds ticking down, Matthew Richmond struck a dramatic winner for the Scorpions during a goalmouth scramble.

The best efforts of goalkeeper Noah Dark, who made a stunning save to deny Mahad Mohamed from the penalty spot, were in vain as Ingleside A ran out 5-0 winners at AEK Boco. Abdirahman Nur hit a hat-trick and one each from Elmi Farah and Salman Ali made up the total.

In Division B, Salvation Army swept to a 7-2 victory over Clifton B with goals from Emre Akbayir (3), Jack Young (2), Adam Eastwood and Keanu Burgess. Clifton replied through a Tom Rose penalty and long-range effort by Charlie Caddy.

Shirehampton B continued their impressive start to the season with a 5-3 victory over Ingleside B.

Edward Wilson and Corey Cotterill gave Shire a 2-0 lead but Ingleside hit back to lead 3-2 at the break thanks to Reece Matthews (2) and Seamus Matthews.

Shire regained the ascendancy with three second-half goals, led by the diminutive Cotterill, who showed his versatility by moving up front and netting two more to complete a fine hat-trick. Tom Wookey scored Shire's other goal.

In the Under-9 Cup, Tyrell Squire hit four goals and Max Dinall hit a hat-trick as Bristol Brazilians romped to a 10-2 victory against Ingleside. Reon Davies (2) and Nathan Goodwin-Worrell got their other goals, while Daivd Jones was impressive in goal.
