Pershore Town U-11 2,

Stratford Colts 0

TOP of the table Town overcame awful conditions and resolute opposition to take the points.

Goalkeeper Glenn Jones didn't have a save to make such was the domination of Pershore's defence and in particular the performance of player of the match Jonathan Stickler and Stratford's lack of attacking ideas.

The visitors got ten players behind the ball as often as they could and it took Town until just before the interval to break through when Owen Harrison slotted in from close range after an excellent pass from Jonathan Mather.

The second wasn't long in coming after the break with Chris Ridings and Harrison opening up the Stratford defence for the former to double Town's lead.

Pershore now "shut up shop" and a negative Stratford side was unable to make any inroads.

Littleton Jnrs U-10 5, Mickleton 1

MICKLETON started the stronger in appalling weather but goalkeeper Sam Bastow repeatedly foiled them.

The opening goal came at the opposite end when Ben Johns forced his way through the defence to set up Tom Cuthbert.

Steve Edgehill then made it 2-0 with a shot from the edge of the penalty area and Littleton were three goals to the good just seconds after the interval when Matt Taylor and Ryan Clarke combined to set up Johns for a cool finish.

Cuthbert then added his second before Mickleton pulled back a goal albeit courtesy of a home defender. The four-goal margin was soon restored when Dan Keen finished of the scoring with a crisp shot.

Swan Lane U-10 4, Welford 2

BOTH sides made a bright start in what proved an entertaining game in poor conditions.

Swan made the initial breakthrough when Jordan Shelton fired in from the edge of the penalty area and it was 2-0 minutes later when Will Vaughan found the net.

Swan keeper Richard Higenbotham produced a fine stop to preserve his side's interval advantage that was soon increased when Sam Dunning's low shot found the corner.

A fine individual goal brought Welford consolation before Josh Craze's accurate shot from distance made it 4-1.

Welford scored a deserved second with the last kick of the game.
