STRIKE partners Dion Sfarca and James Taylor went goal crazy on Saturday as The Heath netted a big win at Market Road. 

Playing in the Under-8s Friendly Division, the pair put on a masterclass of clinical finishing with Sfarca scoring four goals and Taylor hitting a hat-trick. Cameron Hannah scored twice, while strikes from Jonelle Hall and Jean-Michel Kabongo, along with an own-goal, wrapped up a 12-0 win over Regent’s Park Cougars. 

Lyndhurst beat Regent’s Park Jaguars 3-0 in the same age group thanks to goals from Serak Seyoum, Emmanuel Mayake and Frankie Sabine. 

St Pancras continued their push for the title in the Under-9s ‘A’ Division with a 3-0 win over Angel Islington. 

Ardi Canolli struck twice, before Sol Staggs added the finishing touch to a superb passing move that involved Conika Scarlett-Powell, Freitas-Gouveia and Nicholas Coe. 

In the Under-9s ‘B’ Division, strikes from Ben Barlow and Lewis Christie gave Isledon Wolves a 2-0 win over  Regent’s Park.  

In the same age group, The Heath (pictured) came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw against leaders ‘A’ Class thanks to a brilliant double strike from Liam Campbell. 

Campbell kept his shooting boots on Saturday when he scored twice again, this time against Primrose, to help his side reach the semi-finals of the Under-9s Camden and Regent’s Park League Cup. 

With the game finishing 2-2 in normal time, it was left to penalties to find a winner. Heath goalkeeper Walter Winterburn made a stunning save to give his side the edge. 

Striker Campbell kept his cool from the spot, as did team-mate Kajetan McDonnell to seal a place in the final four of the elusive competition.
