>>Towcester Town Tigers U9’s lost 3-1 against Brixworth Panthers. Tigers were unlucky to lose this game after another good team performance. Despite starting well, they were soon a goal down after a Brixworth corner was cruelly deflected into the goal. Their bad luck continued shortly afterwards when a penalty was given against them for handball. Keeper William Hunt made a fine save but in the following melee the ball was scrambled over the line. Tigers continued to attack and were finally rewarded when Zach Driver-Eagles scored just before half-time. In the second half, despite Tigers dominating, a Brixworth counter-attack resulted in a fine shot to seal victory. Man of the match was Harvey Taylor.
