Pioneer League U10
Buckland Athletic...4 Brixham United...1
A fine four-goal haul from Beck secured a win against a talented Brixham United side at Homers Heath on Sunday.
Buckland were without new goalkeeper Joseph, meaning Declan had to step into the line of fire between the sticks and put in a superb performance.
Jamie and Hamish lined up in defence, with Georgia, Harry, Joey and Beck completing the starting line-up.
Joey almost opened the scoring, firing narrowly over after a well-worked passing move, before Beck put the home side in front with a fine strike.
Almost immediately, Beck grabbed a second with a fantastic solo run and shot, before completing his hat-trick when Hamish, Joey and Harry combined to put him in to drill home and then adding a fourth with another unstoppable effort.
With Daniella taking over from Declan in goal at the break, and Daniel and Josh stepping into action, Buckland could have scored more.
Brixham were well in the game throughout, denied by the woodwork on several occasions, and by one astonishing goal-line block from Declan.
Buckland scorers: Beck 4

Pioneer League U10
WBB...3 Buckland Athletic...2
A fantastic double strike from Beck wasn't enough to prevent Buckland from going down to a 3-2 defeat at WBB.
Wattsies have proved to be something of a bogey side in recent times, and this time was no different as their strength and organisation prove to be too much for Buckland.
New keeper Joseph made a fine start between the sticks, and could do nothing to prevent any of the home side's three goals.

COMING UP ROSES...
Sunday, October 16
Roselands...3 Buckland Athletic...4
Buckland returned to form with a deserved victory against a useful Roselands side at Paignton Community College on Sunday.
Playing on the 3G astro surface which has tended to bring the best out of the side, Buckland shook off the disappointment of the previous weekend's cup exit and immediately began to stretch Roselands with Beck in threatening mood, causing all sorts of problems as he held the ball up.
Even going a goal down did not knock Buckland out of their stride and they were soon on level terms when Joey smashed a half-volley into the top corner following a corner.

Joey lashes in Buckland's first
And the visitors took the lead when Joey and Hamish combined to play their way through the Roselands midfield and defence before Hamish picked his spot with a great finish.
Hamish puts Buckland 2-1 up
Roselands fought back, but Josh was in fine form in goal, and Declan and Jamie marshalled the home side's attack well, keeping chances to a minimum.
Georgia's workrate on the left gave Buckland a regular outlet, and Daniel joined the fray as the visitors piled on the pressure.
Both Daniel's and Beck's persistence was rewarded when both hit the target to secure a good win and a much-needed confidence boost.
Joint manager Paul was delighted with the win. He said: "I'm sorry but I'm not talking to you anymore because you either completely misquote me or just make stuff up. I've had a chat with Sir Alex, who had a similar issue with Match of the Day, and he said I should just tell you to $%"* +@*."
