The Gold Fields WA State Boys U15s remain unbeaten at the National Youth Championships for Boys after three games.

Following on from their opening day win over NSW Metro White, Gareth Naven's outfit kicked off day two with an early morning thumping of Northern Territory at Valentine Sports Park in NSW.

Hudson Burn of Perth RedStar scored a hat-trick, Perth Glory's Alex Bolton two, and Max Naylor, Beckham Baker (both Glory) and Tyler Nyabinde (RedStar) one apiece, as WA hammered NT 8-1.

Later in the day, with searing heat forcing kick-off times to be rescheduled, WA drew 1-1 with Northern NSW as Naylor scored for the third game in succession.

Meanwhile, the Gold Fields WA State Boys U16s recorded their first win of the week with their own big result against NT.

RedStar's Roland Ballah had a field day, scoring four times, as WA ran out 7-0 winners. Glory duo Louis Sollitt (2) and Mark Cin Zah also got on the scoresheet.

Unfortunately for the West Aussies, they were unable to follow it up with another positive result and suffered their second defeat of the championships when losing 3-1 to Northern NSW despite taking a first-half lead.
