Axminster Town Under 12s 4,

Merriott Under 12s 3

The Tigers started very well going 4-0 up inside the first 15 minutes.

The goals came from Isaac Pool, a calm finish crossed in from the lively Flynn Hartford, Theo Dibling with a good one-two squeezing it in from a tight angle for the second, an own goal after some excellent wing-play play from Isaac and the last goal was a 35-yard power house strike from Alex Graves.

Jake McManus had a super game at centre-back in a new formation.

The game finished in a tense final ten minutes after Merriott brought the score back to 4-3, but the Tigers held on until the end for their first league win of the year.
