THE celebrations were put on hold for the under-14 Knights after they suffered their first defeat of the season, going down against Stotfold.

They never really got going as the home side raced into a four goal lead at half-time. Although play improved after the break, Stotfold added a fifth late in the game.

The under 10 Templars remain second in Division A despite being held to a 1-1 draw at Stevenage Borough Reds. Dean Brown was on target for Baldock.

The under 10 Crusaders need just one point from their last three games to be crowned Division B champions, after a Christopher Birkett goal gave them a 1-0 win over Stevenage Borough Thunder.

For the under 10 Knights and Lancers, both sides had mixed fortunes with goals Anthony Inverarity and Harry Waters giving the Knights a 2-1 win against Bishop's Stortford Athletic.

The Lancers were not so lucky and not even a Kieron Raynor strike could prevent them from going down 2-1 against Bishop's Stortford Colts.

In the under 12 section, the Templars enhanced their championship hopes with a convincing 5-2 win over St Neots thanks to a Tom Gornall double and strikes from Anthony Geary, Bonham Harper and James Ward.

A Chris Hogg hat-trick and a Tom Lee brace helped give the under 15 Knights the points with a 5-3 victory over Bishop's Stortford Rangers.

The under 16 Crusaders paid the price for conceding two early goals in their encounter with Sandy. Josh Furness scrambled a reply before half-time, but Baldock were unable to find an equaliser despite their second-half pressure.
