Callum Addison added two and there were singles from Anthony Gosling, Jack Burnham and Ben MacGregor.

The Under-18s East lost 2-0 to Chorleywood while a Jack Kellard goal could not save the Under-18s North from a 2-1 County Cup defeat against Comets.

The Under-16s South were also beaten, 6-2 against Oakhill Tigers despite goals from Ryan Ladyman and Chris Salmons. But there was better news for the Under-16s North as they edged out Sandridge Rovers 3-2 through Morgan Trotman (2) and Charlie Bennett.

Efforts from Ronan Marie Moutou and Luis Danton were only consolations as the Under-15s South went down 10-2 at the hands of Evergreen. The Under-15s South were also beaten, 4-3 by Hadley Wood after Mackenzie Killick, Ben Gosling and Harry Ross netted for St Albans.

The Under-15s North enjoyed a pair of victories, overcoming Harvesters 2-0 through Euan McDonald and Olly Hann. McDonald was also on target together with Alfie Booth and Will Sharp as Alexandra Park were dispatched 3-1.

A Kai Takahashi goal was the sole consolation from the Under-14s West’s 7-1 Challenge Cup reverse against Croxley Green, but a Ross Weaver treble and Max Bell’s finish saw the Under-14s South edge out London Maccabi Lions 4-3.

Ryan Ward netted as the Under-13 East lost 4-1 to Watford Town Youth, but the Under-13s Orient were in free-scoring form against Evergreen, hitting 11 without reply. Harry Peter led the way with four goals, Peter Rock and Bly Wilding netted a brace apiece and Kai Hobbs, Connor Blight and Joe Button completed the scoring.

The Under-12s North and South were both victorious, winning 4-1 and 5-0 against Park Street and AC Finchley respectively. Thomas Cooper (2), Marcus Cunnington and Freddie Collins scored for North, with Louis Baker-Madec (3) and Dan Eaves (2) netting for South.

St Albans Under-11s North and South met and it was South who emerged as 4-0 victors thanks to a George Sippetts hat-trick and Danny Fowler’s goal.

Harrison Shaw earned the Under-10s North a 1-1 draw with Harpenden Colts Thunder, Alex Garcia (2), Finley Rees and Ben Cohen gave the Under-10s West a 4-0 win at the expense of Hertford Heath and Akere Ngu scored as the Under-9s Central lost 6-1 to St Margaretsbury.
