Answer: Joe Baker hit a hat-trick in 2 consecutive league games in 2001, against Heybridge and Sutton.

Tonight's game:

1st half very scrappy. Richard Thomas gave us the lead with a well struck shot, but a careless penalty (holding at a corner, apparently) gave them the equaliser. Gary Ansell then re-gave us the lead just before half time. 2nd half we started to be a bit less rushed in possession, and passed it about a bit better. Ansell completed his hattrick before making way for Danny Hockton who knocked in 2. Another +ve was the return to action of Jamie Dormer who played the final 15 minutes.

To be honest, I thought we were very poor in the first half. Very poor. Once again, rushing our passess and getting very flustered when put under pressure.

 

Second half was better and we played some of our best football all season. Okay, against a team that are three leagues below us but still, they are there to be beaten.

 

I hope the second half preformance gives the lads the confiedence they need to start lifting us off the bottom of the league to a more respectable position.

 

Basingstoke on Saturday, so we're back into the fray as far as the league goes, so lads, come on, draw on this and give us something to cheer about.

By way of a comparison, Heybridge played Concord tonight and only won 1-0 (KK Opara with the goal apparently).

You can only beat what's put in front of you and that we did with ease in the end. Could and should have added more to the scoreline but after scoring 10 goals in 2 games I'm probably getting greedy. Even the hedgehog that wandered onto the pitch fancied his chances of putting one in until the lino flagged it off-side! Never!! You never know, we might even get a mention in the Evening Echo!!!

Didn't we lose at least one of the games 5-4 (to Worthing)?

Want to take over? "Martin's memorable matches" sounds much better! A like a little allitteration...

Unfortunately I don't have the exciting getting to the ground stories, although I did get a lift from a couple of Kings Lynn fans to the ground that day.

 

Oops should of been on the Kings Lynn link.
