Durham United FA continued their red-hot form with a 7-3 result 
at the expense of Toronto FC Academy. 

"I wouldn't say it was a dominant performance," said Durham 
head coach, Sanford Carabin. "It would look that way from the 
scoreline because we scored seven goals, but defensively 
we were very poor."

"It's unlike our team to concede like that. We just have 
to make sure we put both facets of the game together." 

Kashiff De Jonge scored a whopping four goals (10', 45+5', 
56', 70'), having a breakout match after several standout 
performances in the first third of the season.

"It was just a matter of time before he got a run of goals 
like that," said Carabin. "In training he is banging them 
away left right and centre. He's just gone to another level 
this year, he's got his confidence, he's a leader 
in our team, we've made him a captain and he just leads 
by example." 

Stefan Lamanna (9') and Matt Stowell (24') added singles, 
while an own goal by the Junior Reds' Dante Campbell 
finished off the goal count for Durham. 

"Offensively it was good for a few players to break out," 
said Carabin. "A little bit of inexperience in their 
backline gifted us some chances we wouldn't usually get 
in this league. We took advantage of that, but our 
dressing room right now is very quiet because I think 
the boys know they won the game but our performance 
overall wasn't what it has been in the past three games." 

Not all went according to play for Durham, with 
Mike Direnzo dismissed (53') just after the break. 
Torono FC Academy also launched a comeback through 
Jordan Faria (50'), Riley Ferrazzo (74') 
and Steffen Yeates (90+3'), but had a mountain to climb.

"We made a slew of errors on the day and on another 
day when we're solid in the back-line, I don't think 
we cough up seven goals," said Toronto FC Academy 
head coach, Stuart Neely. 

"Having said that, we did and we have to deal with that. 
We lost our composure early on and four major mistakes 
cost us four early goals. Outside of that I think 
we stuck to our developmental principles, we kept the 
ball well, we played football and at the same time 
we pushed them to learn to get a result. "

Now on nineteen points, Durham is three points behind 
Woodbridge in first and have a game in hand 
on the leaders. Vaughan Azzurri is only one point 
ahead of Durham in second place. 

Durham plays away to Sanjaxx Lions on June 25 (6 p.m.) 
at Monarch Park, Toronto. 

Toronto FC Academy is in sixth position in the west 
division on six points, and plays at home grounds 
Kia Training Grounds, Toronto, against 
Woodbridge Strikers on June 26 (3 p.m.).
