RICARDO Neto scored twice as FC Abbey Meads Strikers edged out local rivals Northside Athletic in the first round of the Wiltshire Under 13 Cup.

Northside opened the scoring but the Strikers were level when a 30-yard Dejan Broja effort hit the woodwork and top scorer Neto was there to pick up the rebound and slot home.

With the teams deadlocked at 1-1, the tie went into extra time and Neto delivered the victory when he took on the Northside defence only to be brought down in the area, picking himself up to fire home the penalty for his 11th goal of the season.

FERNDALE Rodbourne started their encounter with FC Chippenham Youth brightly, creating a couple of half-chances within minutes of the start.

But Chippenham’s clinical finishing in front of goal meant the away side took the points with a 4-0 win.

Ferndale goalkeeper Kyle Meader-Harris made a couple of fine saves towards the final whistle and James White was awarded Ferndale’s player of the match award for his intelligent range of passing.
