The Phnom Penh Crown Academy teams both won their matches in the CFDL U-16 competition, with the Academy 1 team playing on Saturday morning, beating the Army U-16s 3-0, with all the goals coming in the last five minutes. Svang Samnang kept the Army at bay early doors with a couple of saves, but the Academy were always on top and let their superior stamina make its mark late on. Vat Samnang opened the scoring and then set up Men Piphop twice, to wrap up the victory. Academy 2 lie 2nd in the table. In the Sunday afternoon encounter with RSISA, Academy 2 kept their lead intact at the top of the competition with an emphatic 9-1 success. RSISA started off on the wrong foot, fielding just seven players until reinforcements arrived by the time they were three goals behind. Ouk Sovann headed the first on two minutes with Yeu Muslim and Theang Chhaya quickly adding two more. Chhuot Senteang netted a quick-fire double, both times racing clear of his marker, and then set up Chhaya for his second. Mat Nuron's quick feet was rewarded when his inch-perfect cross was headed home by Orn Chanpolin for 7-0 at the interval. Chanpolin cantered through for his second after the break before Senteang rounded off his hat-trick with a cute finish. RSISA netted a late consolation, and will be glad they kept it under double figures.
