Oran Wells grabbed a late winner as Gibbons Wreckers under-10s triumphed in a thrilling game, overcoming a strong Willesden Constantine side 2-1.

Louis Williams gave GW the lead after 15 minutes, receiving the ball with his back to goal and then cleverly backheeling it into the net as the keeper advanced to close him down.
A handball decision against Hanad Hassan gave Willesden the opportunity to equalise from the penalty spot, but Wreckers goalkeeper Sean O’Donnell produced one of several fine saves.
Constantine did finally equalise in the second half after the tough-tackling Chris Kurtaj had blocked the initial shot and O’Donnell saved the rebound, but was helpless as the ball ran loose.
But the winner arrived 10 minutes from time as Sekani Melford drew the Willesden defence and slipped the ball to Wells, who took advantage of the space to find the net.
Man of the match Billy O’Hara created two goals in the second half to seal a 4-1 victory for Gibbons Wreckers under-nines over St Joseph’s.
Roberto Esprit opened the scoring, dribbling past three players and firing into the far corner, but St Joseph’s levelled with a goal on the counter-attack before half-time.
GW regained the lead straight after the restart when Riccardo Harrison-Sewell raced through from midfield to slot home and O’Hara then took control of the game.
He slid an inch-perfect pass to Sam Davies, who beat two players to make it 3-1, and then broke up another Saints attack before setting up Bradley Corcoran to score the Wreckers’ fourth.
Gibbons Wreckers’ under-12s also recorded a 4-1 win, defeating Court Park Colts 4-1 after Brandon O’Carroll put them in front early on.
Bilal Ahmadzai and Raymond Corcoran quickly added further goals for GW and, although Court Park pulled a goal back, Ryan O’Carroll rounded off the scoring 15 minutes from time.
AFC Wembley under-12s marched into the semi-finals of the Middlesex Cup with an imperious display to see off Ruislip Rangers 4-1.
Rhys Clement curled in the opener and Mickel Platt smashed in number two off the bar, with Ruislip pulling a goal back before Adebambo Akinjogbin and Kyani Ledgister made the tie safe.
Darren Abbey and Michael Panford scored for AFCW’s B team in their 2-2 draw against AGV Youth, while Elijah Carter was on target in the under-11s’ draw at Ruislip Rangers.
Cameron Harry scored twice, with Robert Lee, Javel Simpson and Jay Digweed also on target for the B team in a 5-3 win over Parkfield C.
The under-sevens beat Ickenham 5-3, with Kaleel Green hitting a hat-trick and Rio Kyerematen and Zakariya El-Hannach netting the others.
Gilbert Dzisam Kudge and Reanu Grosset were on target for AFCW under-16s in a 2-1 success against Magix.
Earron Calder and Devontae Irving-Young both struck braces, with Kingsley Eshun also scoring, but AFCW under-13s lost 6-5 at Spartans.
Markeal Luke Harris gave Hendon under-15s an early lead away to Magix – but the Greens were ultimately steamrollered 6-1 by the league leaders.
Magix were stung by the Greens’ goal after 15 minutes and dominated their opponents as they scored twice to take a 2-1 lead before half-time.
And, despite a magnificent defensive performance from Emery Asher, Hendon conceded a further four goals without reply in the second half.
Hendon could soon be on the move again after signalling that they intend to leave Vale Farm at the end of next season.
