It’s goals galore in the first two cup finals

Junior football - Peterborough Junior Alliance League round-up

The first two Peterborough Junior Alliance League Cup finals were held at Chestnut Avenue on Sunday and produced two emphatic winners.

The Under 13 League Cup final was between Division One rivals Spalding United Blue and March Academy Blue and the former came out on top by a convincing 6-1 margin.

Man-of-the-match Ben Greenacre (2), Tyriece Buffong, Connor Beeken and Derrie Maxwell found the back of the net for Spalding with an own goal completing their tally. Harry Edwards scored for March Academy.

And there were even more goals in the Under 13 Hereward Cup decider.

That was between Division Three table-toppers JFC Boston and Hungate Rovers and it was Boston who won this one 7-2.

Their goalscorers were Murilo Max Camacho Santos (2), Daylen Scholefield, Matas Gecas, Riley Stevens, Javier Quevedo and Harvey Warsap while Jay McMullen netted both Hungate goals.

Man-of-the-match was Hungate’s Jacob Summers.

Thorpe Wood Rangers Under 12s have put themselves within striking distance of the Division Four title.

They beat Oundle Town 4-1 on Sunday through goals by William Barnsley (2), Jimmy Saider and Kane Lynch and now just need to win their final game of the season against Wisbech St Mary Purple to be crowned champions.

The Under 12 Division Three title race looks like going down to the wire as well. Feeder narrowed the gap on table-toppers JFC Boston to just a point with their 4-2 win over Peterborough Northern Star Black. Billy Gibbs (2), Mohammed Saad and Mason Clarke got their goals.

Boston have one game remaining whereas Feeder have three left to play.

It’s also close in the battle for the Under 13 Division One championship. Three teams - Whittlesey Blue, Stamford Red and Netherton United are in with a shout.

Stamford are only a point behind leaders Whittlesey after Sunday’s 5-0 win against Boston in which Ewan Simmons (2), Rhys Howard, Elliot Long and Noah Dexter found the back of the net.

And Netherton are only two points further back but with two games in hand.
