Mount opened the scoring in the first half with an emphatic finish after being set up by the lively Dujon Sterling.

And three goals in the space of four second-half minutes put the young Blues in complete control.

Uwakwe netted from Josh Grant’s cross, Ugbo scored with a penalty following a handball, and Maddox fired in the fourth after beating two defenders.

It was soon five courtesy of a second goal for Ugbo, who was set up by Harvey St Clair’s pass.
