2022-23 Winners: Danson Sports Yellow

Kent Merit Under-14 Boys Plate Final: Danson Sports Yellow 5 Danson Sports Green 2

Four-goal Prince Esanga stole the headlines as Danson Sports Yellow defeated Danson Sports Green at Holm Park.

Esanga scored twice after Rhys Joyeux's close-range finish as Yellow raced into a 3-0 lead inside 32 minutes.

But Green refused to roll over and scored twice either side of half-time to bring themselves back into the contest. Losif Evelin Munteanu’s free-kick found the bottom corner and then Harry Howard's precise finish went in off the far post.

Esanga had a chance to complete his hat-trick but put a penalty over the bar. He was not to be denied, however, and converted Joyeux's pass to make it 4-2 before scoring his fourth, and Danson Sports Yellow's fifth of the afternoon, after racing clear of the last defender and rounding the keeper to tap home.
