GREY skies greeted a depleted Milton Nomads Under-10s squad for their Woodspring Junior League Division 1 clash with Swiss Valley Rangers.

Nomads controlled the game from the beginning, dominating the game in midfield with Salmon joined by Maskell and Tasker. At the front, Almond’s tireless running and eye for goal caused problems for the resolute Rangers defence.

It was a quiet morning for Nomads’ keeper Hill who was untroubled behind Smith and Santoro in defence. Two Maskell goals either side of half-time was enough to secure the points in a competitive encounter. Taylor made his debut coming on for Almond in the final stages of the game.

The second game proved to be a more open game with both teams looking positive. The deadlock was broken when Haycock provided a classy finish following good work from Jones in midfield.

Hood then provided the ammunition for Gauci to pounce to score the first of his first-half hat-trick as Nomads led 4-0.

The second half was one-sided with Crusaders launching wave after wave of attacks. Goals by Cox, Thomas, Redding, Santoro and a brace by Havard, one a penalty, made the final score 8-0.

The Under-12s entertained Hutton in a local derby at Baytree in what was to be a trying game for all of them. Crusaders managed to go a goal ahead by Tom Petch, but with injuries for Stocker and Hyland it seemed that Crusaders were going to struggle.

The Under-11s got their season up-and-running with an emphatic 6-0 win over Priory Pumas United.

Saints replied with good play from Khalil Al-Hoori who equalised and then Jake Willcox scored to give St Johns a 2-1 lead at the break.

In the second half, St Johns scored again with another goal by Willcox to extend their lead. This seemed to spur on Nailsea and they hit back with a goal of their own five minutes later.

It looked like St Johns might let the lead slip away, but a great solo effort by Willcox restored Saints’ two goal lead and gave Jake his hat-trick. This seemed to seal the win for St Johns, but a late attack and a goal by Antonio Rodriguez, put the result beyond doubt.

The manager and team would like to thank sponsors Specsavers and their supporters.

BURNHAM Under-15s went into this game trying to maintain their 100 per cent record after beating Burnham Athletic 8-1 the previous week.

Weston Crusaders were always going to be a greater threat and along with Burnham are likely to be one of favourites for the league title. As anticipated it was a physical battle and the whole Burnham team rose to the challenge.

After a tight first-half, the midfield five of Darren, Charie Hughes, JC, H and JP began to dictate play and went into the break 1-0 up thanks to goal by Charlie Hughes.

The second half started the same way with Chaz, Kyle and Rhys preventing any real threat of conceding and Jack giving a confident display in goal. Going forward, Burnham looked more dangerous with Charlie Harding dominant. Two further goals followed, both to the hard-working Dan.

Joint men of the match were awarded to Charlie Harding and Jack Manlow.
