Navy U23s take a step closer to four successive Inter Services titles after win against RAF

WATCH: Navy U23s win close encounter against RAF at Uxbridge

The Royal Navy are in the driving seat to win the 2025 under-23s Inter Services football title after a 2-1 victory over the RAF in Uxbridge.

After a 2-2 draw against the Army, Stu Morgan's Navy team knew a win was a must in match two of the tournament.

Seb Hobbs nodded them in front with an early header, but Tom O'Hanlon's superb strike levelled the scores before Jensen Bryan stepped up to score the winner for the Navy in the second half.

O'Hanlon was the RAF's bright spark and had a number of chances to change the final result, but lashed wide in the first half and was denied by a good save from Sam Kellett after the interval.

The RAF knew a Navy win would end their title hopes so kept fighting until the end, but George Bishop's free-kick flew wide in their final opportunity.

Next week's game between the RAF and Army will determine the final title destination as an Army win means the trophy will be decided on goal difference.
