The youth team returned to winning ways in their latest Allied Counties game with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over local rivals Milton United.

For 20 minutes the game was fairly even with both sides failing to keep the football and not creating any goal scoring opportunities. However the game changed in the 23^rd minute when John Mills opened the scoring in a rare Abingdon attack when hesitancy in the Milton defence allowed him to pounce on a loose ball inside the goal area. The goal settled Abingdon and they started to take control of the game and played some good football. In the 28^th minute one such move saw Lyle Gifford play Mark Druce in behind the Milton defence and although Mike Terry in the Milton goal was able to parry the shot Mills tapped home the rebound. Four minutes later and Abingdon got their third when a Gifford cross cum shot nestled in the far corner of the net. With Abingdon well on top Mills got his hat trick with the best move of the half as Josh Cottrell and Aaron Andrews interchanged passes down the right wing and Andrews pinpoint cross was hammered home by the onrushing Mills.

Milton to their credit raised their game at the start of the second half and their new found determination saw them fashion a number of half chances but they could not quite trouble Adam Lonsdale in the Abingdon goal. As the half wore on both teams seemed to be happy with their second half performances although Abingdon did force Terry in to a couple of good saves, 1^st from a point blank Pablo Haysham shot and then a dipping long range Kearan Russell shot. Just as it looked as if the half was going to remain goalless Cottrell played a one two with Andrews on the half way line, cut inside and jinked past 3 defenders before drawing Terry and clipping the ball in to the far corner for the goal of the game.

A good performance from the team who at times played their best football of the season.
