UNDER 12s: Larkhall Athletic finished their Under 12s Green Division season with a 100 per cent record with an emphatic 9-0 victory against a battling Trowbridge Town side.
After early pressure, Harry Andrews opened the scoring with a powerful drive from the edge of the box. Further goals from Jordan Jenkins, Joe Battrick and Joe Sowing followed allowing Larkhall to go in at half-time leading 4-0.
The second half started in the same vein, with Battrick soon adding his second. Trowbridge, to their credit, dug deep and a combination of good goalkeeping and wasteful finishing kept out Larkhall until the last ten minutes when a brace from substitute Daniel Bennett and two own goals made the final score 9-0.
