'H' bombers blast down Broadway

ILMINGTON rattled in six of the best at home and away in the Stratford Alliance last Saturday.

The club's senior side had hat-tricks from Ben Huckfield and Dan Hodgkins to thank for a thumping 6-3 Aquaid Division One triumph over Broadway United who replied through Gary Hawkins, Pete Steadman and Luke Bayliss.

The second team boasted four scorers in a 6-0 Cutler Division Three win at Tysoe where Steve Smith netted twice to add to goals from Matt Petty, Bryan Wilkins and Scott Taylor.

Three more sides recorded six-hit successes with Peter Harper netting a treble in Henley Forest's 6-1 third division win at Inkberrow.

Luke Poole and Scott Harris both scored twice as Halfords defeated Shipston in the Stratford Nursing Home Cup, while Ian Parkes banged in a hat-trick in the same competition as Bidford made progress at the expense of Badsey Utd Reserves.

The individual goalscoring achievement of the afternoon, though, came in Division Three where Dan Jennings netted all five goals as Quinton Reserves defeated their Bidford counterparts 5-2.

Two players from Littleton weren't far behind as Tom Heath fired in a four-timer and Matt Lynes grabbed a treble as the visitors banged in eight without reply in an R M Smith Cup tie at Blockley.

Richard Skan was another hat-trick hero as the Dog and Pheasant overcame FISSC 4-0 in the Nursing Home Cup, while two goals apiece for Ben Greenwood and Stuart Deacon helped Evesham-based Swan Inn to a 5-2 victory over FISSC REserves.

Peter Croy also netted twice as Badsey United saw off Welford B 5-1, while a similar brace Nick Rumbould helped Halfords Reserves to a 3-0 Herald Division Two win over Studley Nags Head.
