Norwich City U18

Folarin Balogun hit a hat-trick on Saturday afternoon as we ran out convincing 6-2 winners over Norwich City in the U-18 Premier League.

Ken Gillard’s side have made a real habit of scoring early over recent weeks - and this game was no different.

Tyreece John-Jules created a yard of space on the halfway line and spotted the darting run of Balogun, before playing an inch-perfect pass behind the Canaries’ defence, allowing the 17-year-old to fire into the bottom left corner.

Shortly after Balogun doubled our advantage with a first-time finish, before Sam Greenwood was fouled inside the area following some tidy footwork.
