U16 boys travelled to Eastcote for their first test of the season. Taking the lead three times, the home side were clinical despatching their chances to go into the break at 3-3.

Relentless pressure, some beautiful passages of play and three Southgate goals within five minutes quickly broke the opposition’s resolve so that travelling parents in the end could enjoy a comfortable 9-3 victory. Goal-scorers: Barney Collier (4), Amraj Soor (3), Oscar Prior and Lucas Jaehnig.
