The under 8's had an excellent win against Irchester, with Tom Alsop netting four goals and his second hat trick in two games. Alex Vitue scored two goals and Sam Gallagher one.

The under 10's played their first game of the season drawing 1 - 1 with Generals Red, Jack Rawcliffe scoring their only goal.

The under 11's conceded an early goal, but then defended stoutly to keep Ise Lodge out. Jedd Whiteman scored midway through the first half, but a goal just before the break saw Ise Lodge go in 1 - 2 to the good. The second half again saw Thrapston lose a couple of goals before an individual effort by Michael Cooke closed the gap to 2 - 4. The away side then scored two more goals to make the final score 2 - 6. An excellent match played in a good spirit by both sides.

The under 12's youth lost 0 - 3 away to Rushden Rangers and the under 12's lost at home to Hellenic.

The under 13's were convincingly beaten by a very strong Vicarage Farm side 0 - 11. They battled well against a much stronger, faster Vicarage Farm team who took the home defence apart from both wings. Thrapston's goalkeeper Sam Roach had a good game despite the large score with Michael White and David Cunningham giving their all.

The under 14's played their game at Rushden Rangers. Ross Smith opened the scoring with an opportunist goal, and then Asa Vorley sent a perfect through ball for Sam Alcock to slot home. The second half saw Rushden dominate, but failed to finish off the game with some determined defending from the away side, the eventual score finishing 1 -2 to Thrapston.

The under 15's played out a 0 - 0 away draw at Thorpe Wood Rangers. The game was a bit negative after last weeks good start, neither side able to carve an opening. Dan Marsh was Man of the Match.
