UNDER 9: YAXLEY Blue are back in the Blue Zone title race after beating Riverside 4-3.
In a cracking tussle at Middletons Road, Marcus Goymour (2) and Jack Hampson both netted for Riverside but goals for Gianni Cantone (2), Declan King and Kyle Rowell ensured the Blues took the points.
And with league title rivals Feeder Soccer held to a 0-0 draw against Corby, Yaxley boss Luke Weston believes his side could be peaking at just the right time.
He said: “We had a pretty sticky start to the season but since then we have just got better and better. We knew Riverside would give us a good game but the boys just seem to be able to come up with the goods in the big games which is important.
“There are still a few teams in the title race with Oundle, Feeder and Corby all in with a shout, but I would now say that we also have a great chance with the form we are in at the moment.”
n SPALDING remain on a collision course with Arsenal Soccer School for the Red Zone title.
A hat-trick for Luke Scampion and a goal for Josh Copnell saw the young Tulips beat Boston 4-1 to set up a potential last day title decider with the league leaders.
Spalding are now six points behind Arsenal with two games in hand and with the two sides due to meet on the final day of the season, boss Marvin Scampion is predicting fireworks.
He said: “We have Boston again next week and then Thurlby and if we can win both of those it will be winner takes all against Arsenal. They are our local rivals and I am sure it will be a cracking game.”
n GOALS for Nathan Bills and Luke Edwards saw Bourne Red consolidate their mid-table berth with a 2-0 win against Crowland.
After losing their first three games of the season the Reds have made steady progress as the season has developed, progress manager Steve Bills expects to see continue.
He said: “Crowland have had a difficult season but they still gave us a really good game in the end and we had to play well to take the points. We are mid-table now and hopefully we can stay there and give ourselves something to build on next season.
“But the most important thing is that the boys continue to enjoy playing the game, as long as that is happening then everyone here will be happy.”
n IN the Green Zone, Park Farm drew 3-3 with Malborne while Yellow Zone leaders Paston Flyers were held to the same scoreline by Thorney Colts.
A hat-trick from William Chamberlain saw the Colts storm into a commanding lead but goals from Danny Prior (2) and David Hilson saw the Flyers come back to claim a point.
Thorney boss Alan Fox said: “It was a much-improved display from us. We were 3-1 up and hit the post so it could have easily been a win for us on any other day.”
