LEADERS Wattsfield had to battle hard to preserve their 100 per cent winning record in the Under-14 section on Sunday.

Potential title challengers Penrith set them a stiff question to answer by going 2-0 up after 15 minutes, but.

Wattsfield came back and levelled the scores with goals from Dean Leigh and Dan Park before half time.

An equally competitive second half followed but Wattsfield had the edge with substitute Stuart Oldham finally grabbing the all-important goal for a 3-2 victory.

It was midway through the first half before the goals began flowing in the U14 match between Burneside and Ibis Celtic.

Burneside found the net first, but it was cancelled out by a goal from Brett Ashley just before half time.

After the break Celtic struck three times in quick succession through Scott Frazer, Graham Coulter and Ashley.

Burneside hit a second, but Ashley rounded the game of with a hat-trick for a final score of 5-2.
