Dunstable Town U18’s got back to winning ways with a good performance and 3-1 win against Leighton Town U18’s.
A couple of new faces came into the team allowing others to play in their regular positions which helped the team after a difficult defeat against Newport Pagnell Town.
Luis Ribeiro-Nso opened the scoring in the 16 minute at the second attempt after his header came back down off the bar he rifled home the rebound.
