St Andrews v. Greenwood Meadows
Premier Division

The Meadows came to town from Nottingham standing third in the table. They score quite a few goals, but they allow a few, too. We had a week to rest before we faced them, so our first eleven were all ready to go.

4-4-2: Ward; Foley, Calvert, Blackburn, Ricketts; Smith, Collis, Huckerby, Blankley; Thompson, Hackett.

The 268 supporters who turned out to Canal Street today saw Tony Thompson claim the match ball after scoring a nifty hat trick. Tony provided both productivity and variety: a tidy finish from just outside the six-yard box, a well-placed header, and a howitzer from 20 yards away.

By the middle of the second half, the fans were singing at the tops of their lungs:

Tony Thompson, he scores when he wants!

The triple salvo gives Tony 21 goals on the season in all competitions, and a remarkable 16 in 12 league games.

Our defense was very solid in front of Sam West, who had only two easy saves to make.

Graham Street Prims lost again, falling 0-2 to Anstey Nomads at home, so now we're six points clear, with 26 points from 13 matches.
