Doddinghurst in seventh heaven

DODDINGHURST OLYMPIC U9 7

KELVEDON HATCH U9A 0

(Chelmsford Youth League Brentwood Division One)

A HAT-TRICK from Alfie Cerulli helped Doddinghurst to a convincing win.

Cerulli scored from the match's first attack and Kelvedon Hatch responded well, but could find no way past Kai Chalkley and Tom Richards in Doddinghurst's defence.

The home team added a second through Frankie Day, before William Stroud made it three.

In the second half, Cerulli and Oscar Pace extended the home team's lead, as Kelvedon forced goalkeeper Ed Peace into some fine saves.

However, Cerulli completing his hat-trick and Stroud finished off the scoring to keep Doddinghurst unbeaten.
