HORMEAD HARES' under-10 side set themselves up for the Crow league title after defeating previous leaders HC Cougars 3-0, on Sunday.
Hosts Hares had the majority of the game and made the Cougars keeper make two good saves early on.
The Hares' defence of Joe Parrott and James Nightingale were impressive throughout, snuffing out the potent Cougars strikers. Craig Brett, Ewan Edwards and Luke Barker were superb in midfield and Robbie Levy was a constant threat.
The pressure finally paid off with a rasping 20 yard drive from Edwards that gave the keeper no chance.
Hormead doubled their lead just before half time with a superb break and neat pass from Brett, that saw Barker shoot first time from an acute angle that beat the keeper.
The second half was a tighter affair with Cougars coming back into the game. Callum McDonald in goal pulled off a couple of good saves and handled well under pressure from a barrage of corners.
