Bristol Under-18 Combination - Weekend review

DANNY Casewall cracked a hat-trick as Imperial Saints ran out easy 7-1 winners over Cheddar in Division A.

They opened the scoring after 30 minutes when Casewall neatly slotted home a cross.

Then Mitch Purnell's corner ran loose inside the box and the same player reacted quickly to extend their lead.

Cheddar pulled one back soon after the break through Harry Brunsdon but Imps restored their two-goal lead when Conner Saunders released Purnell, who finished with aplomb from 18 yards.

Joe Sheppard and Casewall set up substitute Kartel Blair, who cut inside before driving the ball home from 20 yards out to make it 4-1.

Blair went on to score again and Casewall completed his hat-trick, finishing a superb run from the halfway line with a thumping 25-yard drive.

Hanham Athletic overcame Ashton Boys 3-1 thanks to Joe Bryer's hat-trick in another Division A fixture.

Hanham keeper Ollie Murray pulled off a good penalty save in a tight first half to deny Ashton but he could not prevent Frazer Clarke finishing off a fine move to pull it back to 2-1.

The second period was end-to-end stuff, with Singh Chivers and Jamie Coole going close for Hanham and Bryer seeing another effort disallowed.

Keeper Mitchell Watkins was in outstanding form for Ashton, while Max Huntley and Jason Hallett were Hanham's best players.

In the Gloucesteshire Division, Frampton edged a closely-fought contest with Bishops Cleeve 3-2.

Tyrone Gambrell tapped in Cleeve's first goal from a Simon Prince cross and Lee Hitchman converted a penalty after Prince had been fouled in the second half.

A serious head injury to Bishops Cleeve's David Pollard and a Frampton player resulted in a long delay. When play restarted Cleeve's 10 men appeared on top, but Frampton held firm for the win.
