Goal-happy City girls ease to victory in home opener
Youth football
Canterbury City Girls put eight goals past Petts Wood in their first home game of the KGLFL Division 1 on Sunday, with no reply from the visitors.
City struck five times before the break and coach Paul Stevens said: “We have had some tough games against this team in the past but this time we just clicked.
“Every player worked hard for each other and we are lucky to have no weak links in our squad.”
Goal scorers were Kloee Worboyes ( 2), Libby Rowland ( 2), Jodie Cain (2), Ella Wilson and Tiegan Stevens.
Player - of - the- match was midfielder Cassia Pollard.
City’s next game is away to Petts Wood on Sunday in the first round of the cup. City: L Vergo, R Day, M Walker, D Harris, Z Howard, A Tritton, C Pollard, E Jordan, I Cory, E Wilson, T Stevens, L Rowland, J Cain, K Worboyes.
Faversham Strike Force Under16s took the bragging rights in their Kent Youth League derby on Sunday as they beat rivals Faversham Town 1-0.
The score did not reflect the dominance of the display as Strike Force struck the woodwork several times and were thwarted repeatedly by a Town keeper in inspired form.
The winner did not come until 20 minutes from time when Ben Treacher scored for the home side.
Josh Hall hit a hat-trick as Canterbury Eagles Under-13s came from behind to beat Thanet Colts 5-1 in their latest friendly.
Eagles went a goal down inside 10 minutes but they levelled before half-time when Kuame Clarke-hinds was played through by Dylan Saunders and his touch looped over the keeper.
Halls’ first of the game made it 2-1 and the same player struck again when he turned between two defenders to fire home.
Leandro Ramos scored the fourth from a Clarke-hinds cross before Monty Saunders played in Hall who finished well to complete his hat-trick.
Hall was named as manager’s man-of-the-match with Thomas Hayes getting the parents’ vote.
