Paul Burnell's four goal performance ensured Hampton's Under 18s came out on top against Cobham. Hampton were twice ahead before falling behind 3-2 and then recovered to eventually win 4-3.
Burnell scored Hampton's opener in the seventh minute when his pace took him past the ponderous Cobham defence and he ran on to crack the ball past the Cobham keeper. An unfortunate deflection in the Hampton defence was seized upon by Cobham as they scored a lucky equaliser in the 19th minute.
Hampton went 2-1 up in the 52nd minute when Burnell headed Ben Lampard's free kick in at the far post. Cobham pulled level in the 64th minute from a penalty then went ahead when they took advantage of a poor Hampton goalkick. Another header by Burnell, this time from a cross from Ray Collins, put Hampton level at 3-3. With nine minutes to go Hampton were reduced to 10 men when Alex Graves was injured. In the 84th minute Burnell hit his fourth with a penalty.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
