Under-12s County Cup
THIS was a near perfect performance from Celtic Whites.
They began strongly with Callum Pinner heading on to the bar before Richard Jonas put his side ahead.
Rhys Westbury got his first of the match after some good midfield play by Ben Webb and George Bailey and nipped in soon after for his second after the Markyate 'keeper could only parry James Rushton's shot.
A third came soon afterwards for the flying Westbury when he ran on to an intelligent through ball from man-of-the-match Bailey and kept his head to finish in style.
It was not all one way traffic though, and Jack Mills had to be in control at the back with Eamon Henderson dependable at left back and Edward Atkins at right back and goalkeeper Robbie Ponting was twice called upon to make good saves.
In the second half the Celtics were even stronger and Bailey finished to make it 5-0 before Rushton slotted home for his team's sixth.
Leavers then got a hat-trick, including a penalty, as Royston wrapped up proceedings.
Tom McGlynn came on and kept it tight at the back as did Joseph Ryding slotting into the midfield.
Royston Celtic Whites: Ponting, Westbury, Mills, Pinner, Leavers, Henderson, George, Webb, Atkins, Rushton, McGlynn, Ryding.
