Banton nets twice as Hatters U18s triumph

The youngsters led 2-0 at half time thanks to goals from Jemale McKenzie-Lowe and Leeroy Maguraushe.

Eight changes at half time saw Paul Driver’s side net a further four times with Zane Banton (2), Arel Amu and trialist Matt Robinson on target, before they conceded two late goals.

After the game, Driver said: “The goals we conceded at the end spoilt an otherwise good performance as 6-0 would have been a fair scoreline so it’s disappointing to come away having let in two goals.

“Wingate are a strong club for their level of football and had players who have enjoyed success at U15, U16 and U17 level last term.

“It was a good work out though and we came through unscathed with no injuries.

“Our proposed friendly at Cambridge on Thursday has been postponed and next week we head to Sweden to compete in the Gothia Cup.”
