Following on from the success at 11am the under-13s could have felt under pressure for their game which kicked off at 1pm.

But they put on an impressive performance beating Pace Youth by 8-0.

Goals were netted by Ella Wright (two), Lucy Scutt, Annie Gardner and four from Macey Walters, who was voted the Hampshire FA player of the match and she also got to keep the match ball!
