Tony Nwachukwu hit a hat-trick as the Under 18s overwhelmed neighbours Horsham YMCA with a stunning 7-0 victory at the Atspeed Stadium last night. Michael Dale gave the Hornets the perfect start after just 5 minutes and, when George Magnus made it 2-0 just 5 minutes later, it looked like a case of damage limitation for the Ryman Youth League's basement side. Nwachukwu grabbed the first of his treble 6 mins from the break, adding 2 more in the second half with Pat Surlis and Matt Whiteford chipping in with a goal apiece to record the Hornets' biggest win of the season.

The Under 14s face Lindfield Juniors this Sunday with dreams of Cup glory on their minds. Matt Bulley's side has a 100% record in all competitions this season and could clinch the first of a fabulous treble when they take on the Haywards Heath based side at East Grinstead F.C (ko 1030am). Lindfield defeated last year's U13s winners, Adur Athletic, in the semi-final and it promises to be an entertaining final with Lindfield currently 2nd in the Premier Mid Sussex Youth & Minor Football League with just one defeat from their 11 league games to date and averaging almost 8 goals per game. The Hornets began their cup campaign with a walkover against Maidenbower Colts before going on to score 32 goals in their remaining 5 ties, including an amazing 16-0 win against ASC Strikers.

Stanley Rice hit four goals as Horsham's under 12s stunned league leaders Lancing Rangers with an 8-2 thrashing. The win was even more remarkable as the young Hornets were playing their 2nd game in 24 hours, having taken on Worthing United on Saturday. Lancing had recorded a 4-0 success against Horsham back in February but memories of that game were quickly erased as the Hornets raced in to an early 2-0 lead thanks to Rice and Zak Comber. Goalkeeper Lewis Blaney pulled off a great save to keep out a Lancing penalty but the leaders managed to half the deficit only for Comber to restore the 2 goal lead before the interval. Lancing threatened a fightback when they made it 3-2 early in the 2nd half but an own goal, 3 more from Rice, and a first ever goal for Horsham by Ben Meadows, gave Horsham their biggest league win of the season. Saturday's match at Worthing was a different story where several good saves from Blaney couldn't prevent a 6-2 defeat. Rice scored both of Horsham's goals.

George Hole had a mixed afternoon for the Under 12s when he was taken to hospital with chest pains after collapsing during the young Hornets' match against Regis 2000 'B'. The youngster had earlier celebrated giving his side the lead in a topsy-turvy in which Zak Comber's brace had given Horsham a 2-0 lead only for the Arun & Chichester League strugglers to fight back and level the scores in the second half. George's collapse forced the referee into blowing for full time a few minutes early but we are delighted to say that George was released from Chichester hospital later that afternoon. Elsewhere, a hat-trick from Patrick O'Sullivan put the Under 16s on their way to an excellent 5-1 win against previously unbeaten Bognor Regis Town Colts Youth to maintain their own 100% league record.
