Junior football

Chadderton Park under-14s Lions beat Littleborough Blues 4-1 in the North Bury League Cup final.

The Lions opened the scoring through a Dalton Martins tap-in, and it was soon 2-0 when a great team move released Lewis North who fired home.

Littleborough made it 2-1 before half time with a well-taken free-kick.

Further goals from Martins and North secured the 4-1 win for the Lions and the silverware.

Meanwhile, Park's under-13s Griffins (pictured below) followed up their recent league title win with a 3-1 win over Rossendale Valley in the of the Under-13s League Cup final to become double winners.

Callum Jones opened the scoring a well-taken goal.

Ollie Havens made it 2-0 as he fired home into the top corner.

In the second half Rossendale ensured a barnstorming finish when they made it 2-1 with 10 minutes remaining.

But the game was put to bed thanks to a stunning goal from Kamen Ray.

Park's under-12s Cobras enjoyed a 3-1 win away at Pennine Juniors Whites.

Pennine should have taken an early lead when they were awarded a penalty, but Cobras' 'keeper Alfie Taylor made a terrific save to keep it at 0-0.

The Cobras took the lead when Josh Watson capitalised on a loose ball to make it 1-0 at half time.

Jac Smith made it 2-0 when he was latched on to a quick throw-in from Aidy Broadhurst.

Smith skipped through the defence with the ball and smashed it home.

Pennine made it 2-1 when the Cobras switched off and were punished.

In a tense final five minutes, a smart move started by Akeem Bhatti culminated with Harry Cameron driving forward and coolly slotting the ball in the bottom corner to make it 3-1.

Park's under-12s Dragons' title hopes were dented after a 2-2 draw away at Cheetham Hill Whites.

The Dragons broke the deadlock midway through the first half  when Jack Wright fired home.

Cheetham Hill responded and equalised just before half time to make it 1-1.

As both teams continued to push in the second half, the Dragons took the lead again through a clinical run and finish from Alfie McMylor.

The Dragons just couldn’t put the game to bed despite having numerous chances, and once again Cheetham Hill equalised against the run of play with four minutes to go.
