Pride of place this week goes to Skin's U15's performance away at Maidstone in the Kent Youth League. They managed a magnificent 3-2 victory despite being 1-0 and 2-1 down to register their first win in the league this season. Debutent Jose Cruz levelled the scores with 5 minutes left before Tommy Mclean scored the winner in the 7th minute of added time. Max Gillie was the scorer of our first goal. Elsewhere in the League, our U16's completed a same weekend double against Bromley! Having beaten them 3-2 the day before in the JPL 64 Team Knockout Tournament with goals Juan Taylor (2) and Lewis, they were victorious again in the KYL with a 2-0 scoreline. Juan Taylor was again on the scoresheet and Harry Hughes chipped in with the second.

The U18's were in League Cup action at home to FC Elmstead, who they had already beaten 5-1 earlier in the season. It was a much closer affair this time but after a goalless first half they took the lead early after the break with a well worked goal executed by TJ Dros. Jayden Ogbuka added a second and whilst Prince Massaquoi could have extended the lead further, Matt's side advanced to the next round with a 2-0 victory. The U13's KYL team played Kennington for the second week running in cup competition. Having beaten them in the League Cup 4-0 last week, manager Aaron Minott shuffled his pack for the Kent Boys Cup. The score was a tad closer on this occasion but they still managed a 3-2 victory with goals from Frankie, Harry and King.

Kingsleigh's JPL U16's Championship team missed out on a chance to face Rob's team in the JPL 64 Team Knockout Tournament when they lost 2-0 away to Greenwich Borough. Our Girls team suffered a heaving defeat against a strong Fulham side. Hopefully, better luck next week when they face Wimbledon in the London Girls Cup.

Another bag of mixed fortune in the Selkent matches. Our U18's surrendered a two goal lead to draw 3-3 with fellow title contenders Fleetdown United. Top scorer Josh hit a first half hat trick but they couldn't hold out for the win that would have reduced the gap on league leaders Instead United Colts. However, they remain unbeaten and second in their Division. The U16's lost narrowly 3-2 to Footscray Lions and the U12's succumbed to their second consecutive defeat 4-2 away to Eagles & Stars. Philip's U8's continue to produce good results and this week they beat Lewisham Borough by a single goal in each of their two games. Our other U8's are improving with every match and although they lost both of the fixtures against Junior Reds, one of the matches was by the narrowest of margins. Gary blamed his U10X's 6-2 loss to Metrogas on the 9.00am kick off - no comment!

The Selkent love to have some weird and wonderful tournaments. Karl's U11's played three matches at the Marathon Ground in the Mini Soccer competition - drawing 0-0 to teams in higher divisions and winning their final match 5-0. The reward is likely to be a place in the Shield competition as they finished second in the group on goal difference.

Mark's dream of winning the U13's Kent Boys plate came to an end as they lost to an impressive Ebbsfleet team. The boys will learn a lot from the defeat though.
