Jesse McCann seems determined to follow in the footsteps of a famous father.

Jesse, the middle son of former Posh boss and midfield maestro Grant McCann, plays for Deeping United in Under 13 Division Two of the Junior Alliance League.

And last weekend he scored 10 times as his side won 11-2 at Nene Valley!

Logan Bell scored the other Deeping goal for a team in fourth place, but within five points of top spot.

Young McCann is now top of the scoring charts in Division Two. He has 31 goals in just 14 appearance­s.

McCann’s eldest son Bayley has won Northern Ireland Under 16 caps and is a member of the Posh Academy.

Two of the top teams at Under 13 level met in a BFS Cup tie and there was a surprising­ly convincing 4-1 win for Park Farm Pumas over

Yaxley as Malamine Singhateh hit a hat-trick.

Park Farm also moved joint top of Under 12 Division Four with a 2-0 success over March. Harrison Hebdon and Patrick Steel were the goalscorer­s.

In Division Three Mohammad Aryaan Hussain claimed a double hat-trick as FC Peterborou­gh won 8-5 at Leveringto­n.

Alisajjad Walizada scored twice as Peterborou­gh Lions extended their perfect playing record in Division Six to 12 matches with a 5-1 win over King’s Cliffe.

Peterborou­gh Lions are fifth in Under 14 Division Two, but they have the games in hand to make an impact on the title race. Ryley Tether scored four and Piotr Szewczuk was also on target in a 5-3 success at Spalding.

Stamford preserved their two-point lead at the top with a narrow 2-1 victory over Whittlesey. Zachary Hattam and Alfie Frisby-Robins scored for Stamford.

Division Three leaders

Wittering were pushed all the way by Park Farm before a goal from Daniel Kanyangu delivered a 1-0 win.

And unbeaten Division Four leaders Orton Rangers also had to work hard before securing a 1-0 success at third-placed Park Farm.

Whittlesey are level on points with Orton, but have played four more games.

They eased to a 7-1 win at Oundle Town with Jacob Stott scoring four. Leeson Head, Mitchell Brightwell and Murdoc Little also scored.
