Ben's Blog

After scoring a goal in the game before, Ben carried on his goal scoring streak into the away game against Plymouth Parkway on the 1st February and scored a quality hat trick!!  He was completely over the moon with that and so were we.  Gramps had come up to watch as well so that was very good timing by Ben!! Of course, I had said at the start of the season that if he scores a hat trick, I will give him £10, so I was out of pocket that day. Gramps also matched it so Ben had a nice little earner!  Also, Parkway was the team that Ben almost signed for last Summer, so it was nice to get some goals against them and play very well.  Unfortunately, somehow, he didn’t get Man of the Match, as our Goalie, Jack, got it for some great saves.  The score ended 4-4 but Kolts were 3-1 down at half time until Ben’s hat trick rescued them.  His first was a well taken goal from the left of the goal where he had a shot saved but it rebounded to him and he poked it in.  The second came from a corner which was rebounding around the box until Ben turned and hit it into the bottom left corner.  The third was the best as he got past a couple of defenders and scored into the bottom left of the goal from just inside the box.  Kolts then managed to hang on to a well deserved draw but we were very proud of Ben and all his colleagues and coaches were thrilled for him!

Here is a pic of him at the end of the match, though he doesn’t look too thrilled!! haha

Hat trick hero!
