AS the youth football season draws to a close we have another Youth Star of the Week winner who will receive a free sporting gift from out partners at Out There Sports in Dunmow.

Barnston supporter Brian Hockley has written in this week to nominate Sam Duberry who hit a dazzling hat-trick at the weekend.

Mr Hockley said: “Our Barnston Under 12s side keep coming up with the goods and this week I would like to nominate prolific goal scorer and centre- forward Sam Duberry, who hit an excellent hat-trick on Sunday against Gallow United, with Barnston winning 4-2.

“Sam is not one of your hefty centre forwards, but he makes up for it with pace, skill and excellent finishing.

“He has played 19 games this season, scoring 24 goals, and picking up two man of the match awards, he is also a good team player. He has scored two hat-tricks this season and hit 27 goals in 19 games last season – a quiet and sensible lad.”

To nominate a Youth Star of the Week, from any sport at all, e-mail your nomination, a picture and around 100 words suggesting why the winner is worthy to reporter-sport@archant.co.uk.
