Bit of a stroll in the park to be fair, but there we’re a few very good things to mention. Lil Jon scoring probably the quickest hat trick in Newbury history. Andy Saunders wearing 99 and was reincarnated as Jey Siva.
                                                   
We moved the ball around quickly and well, but we kept on going and made sure we got the goals that were needed. The team looked in good spirits going into the crunch clash against Collier Row next week.

 

Starting Line Up:

Now for the ratings

Graham “Newbury’s No1” Tritton GK
Didn’t have much to do all game, but kept his concentration up when he was needed. 7/10
                         
Chris “I’ll give the keeper a back pass from 40yards” Wallbank RB
How on earth he managed to get a shot off from 40 yards is unbelievable. The keeper was laughing as it rolled towards him. 7/10

Nick “Mr Two Footer” Marable CB
Wasn’t at his best at the start like a lot of players, but started to command from the back and win almost everything in the air in the second half. 7/10
 
Kye “Pace to burn yeah right” Braithwaite CB
Good game to ease him back in from injury. 7/10

Tom “Sweet Boy” Starling
Look a bit lost at the start, but imposed himself on the game and started to be a real threat in the second half. 7/10

Brad “Holding” Gates DM
Quiet throughout, but tried to get on with the job in hand, still learning the role but could become even better than the Kaiser. 8/10

Toch “Veron” Singh AM
Just kept things moving along, neat and tidy in the middle, never needed to get out of second gear. 7/10

Dan “I can break him” Chester AM
Back to his old smash and grab self, but still managed to be an artist on the pitch as well. 8/10

Nicole “Va Va Voom” WL
Mr Zizou himself strolled around with the gaelic flair you associated with quality. Had some fantastic touches and runs and his vision was second to none. 8/10

Andy “Goal Machine” Saunders CF
Did everything you expect and more. Wore the 99 shirt how ever and forgot that he’s allowed to shoot. 9/10

Alfie “How could they stop me getting a Hat trick” Egembah WR
I know everyone else is going to go on about the corner flag being snapped in half, but it was a great strike for the goal before it. 8/10

Subs
Jon “Mr Versatile” Galligan WL
What can we say hat trick from the bench inside 10 mins.  8/10

Joe “Run Forrest Run” Mariani WR
Couldn’t get to the same heights as Lil Jon, but got a very good assist. 7/10
