Cup First Round: Exmouth United 11-2 Broadclyst Youth
Exmouth United Under 13s brought their "A game" to the first round cup tie against Broadclyst Youth. After just 3 minutes they took the lead when Cayleb Field's effort was parried and Jay Leballeur tucked in the rebound. United moved the ball around superbly and it was soon 2-0 when Bryn Stephens crossed for Field to chip in. Leballeur turned provider when his corner was volleyed in by midfielder Lewis Evans.
Next it was the turn of right winger Stephens who scored with a deft left-foot effort. Goalkeeper Lewis Alford was having a quiet day but stepped up to convert a penalty and make it 5. United were protected at the back by some very strong defending from Owen Brady, Daniel Alford, Dylan Mogford and Jack Greaves.
In spite of the visitors getting one back Exmouth continued to dominate. Stephens crossed to set up a debut goal for Anthony van de Bunte. Tommy Foa was alert as the second-half keeper and started a number of attacks with his accurate passing. Evans and Alford both got their second to make it 8-1. Next Mogford delivered a great cross from the right for Tom Price to slot past the keeper. Broadclyst scored another before Seb Harrison dribbled from his own half all the way through to score an individual wonder goal. Leballeur topped off an excellent team performance to grab a brace and make it 11-2.
