Callum Mansell was again on the score sheet, this time with two goals, to give his side the win and close the gap on the league leaders above them.
Hemel Stags Aces U11s won their home match with St Albans Orient 3-0.
The first goal was the product of some slick football from Aces, as Daniel Potticary, Luke Murray, Joe Johnson and Alex Dorrington combined in a sweeping move up the pitch. Edward Langley was then sent clear on goal to open the scoring.
The second goal saw Louis Smith gallop from the halfway line before hoofing the ball home, before Alex Styles popped up in the box to net a birthday goal and seal the win.
Berkhamsted Raiders Red U12s recorded a 5-1 victory over Hemel Youth Red thanks to a brace from Jack Hudson and goals from Matty Lee and George Darby in the first half.

Man of the match was George Lewarne.
In the U13s League Cup Berkhamsted Raiders Red sneaked a 1-0 victory at Comets Whites, thanks to sturdy defensive pairing Kieran Lupini and Billy Docwra.
