Devon and Junior Minor League

Under 13 Trafalgar League Cup

Chaddlewood Miners 1

Southgate Colts 2

IN THE first-round of the League Cup, Andy Crocombe’s under 13s had a tough draw, away to league leaders Chaddlewood.

The home side took the lead with a long-range effort from Daniel Brookes before Jack Biddick equalised with a blockbuster from 25 yards.

The Colts took control in the second-half with all the players showing a great spirit, and they were rewarded deep into injury-time when Elliot Haxell ran through and tucked his chance away in the bottom corner to send Southgate into the next round.

Considering the squad was only assembled last season, the management team of Crocombe and Richard Tippett have high hopes of a top-half finish if not better.

Southgate —

Mark Parsons, Saffron Cripps, Will Finnimore, Charlie Gardner, Isaac Lewis, Max Crocombe, Liam Carmichael, Owen Barnes, Jack Biddick, Isaac Parnell, Elliot Haxell, Tae Valentine, Chennai Burns, Will Tippett.

Man-of-the-match: Isaac Lewis (Southgate)
