Guiliano Grazioli managed a 7-a-side Barnet Community Trust team that played fine passing football to beat a Barnet College elite seven 8-2 at Mill Hill Powerleague.

The former Barnet striker, who was assisted by Ashley Levien and Stephen Bull, selected an U-19 team chosen to match more physical opponents and watched approvingly as they built a 5-0 interval lead. The team chosen was a selection of boys from all social projects that the Trust runs and consisted of five youth offending boys and six from Kickz in an 11-man squad.

Mauro Vilhete's cousin William scored a first half hat-trick and Abdi added two more. The college pulled one back after the interval but the Trust managed three more.

Their reward? An after-match barbecue at Powerleague.
