The young Cuckoos comfortably saw off fellow league newcomers Eynesbury Rovers 3-0 under the Leading Drove lights on Thursday in their first competitive outing of the season.

Impressive midfielder Luke Bonney doubled the lead nine minutes later and striker Craig Thain wrapped up the points with seven minutes remaining.
Clarke said: "Overall it was a very good performance and a great start for the team which is a mixture of last season's Under 18 team and four lads who have come up from the Under 16s."
