THE SECONDS HOWEVER WERE TOLD BY THE MANAGER THAT THEY NEEDED TO UP THEIR GAME AS PERFORMANCES HADNT BEEN GREAT LATELY AND I WAS WORRIED THAT SOONER OR LATER WE WOULD BE MADE TO PAY , THEY CERTAINLY LISTENED AND RACED TO A 5-0 HT LEAD DEAN RUSSELL OPENED THE SCORING FLICKING HOME FROM A CORNER AND BEATTIE POUNCED ON SOME WOEFUL DEFENDING FOR THE SECOND SOON AFTER GREAT WORK BY TERRY McDOWELL SET UP SAM LYTTLE FOR THE THIRD ,THEN THE GOAL OF THE GAME FROM RUSSELL RUNNING FROM THE HALF WAY LINE HE BEAT THREE PLAYERS AND UNLEASHED A SMASHING SHOT FROM 30 YARDS OUT INTO THE TOP CORNER THE 5TH WAS A GLANCING HEADER FROM LYTTLE. THE SECOND HALF STARTED WELL WITH LYTTLE FINISHING FROM 3 YARDS FOR HIS HAT TRICK BUT THE GAME WENT COLD FOR THE NEXT 25 MINUTES AS BRENTWOOD TOOK THEIR FOOT OF THE PEDAL AND LET 8TH PLAY A BIT AND THEY CAUSED A FEW PROBLEMS BUT NOTHING TOO SERIOUS THREE SUBSTITUTIONS WERE MADE MCELDREW,NOBLE AND PETER McLEAN ALL CAME ON TO FRESHEN THINGS UP AND McELDREW FOUND HIMSELF ON THE SCORESHEET DRIVING HOME FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX BEFORE BEATTIE HEADED IN NUMBER EIGHT A GOOD PERFORMANCE BUT HARDER GAMES LIE AHEAD

NOTABLE PERFORMANCES WERE FROM DEAN RUSSELL ,GERRY NOBLE ON HIS DEBUT ,DEE SPENCE AND SAM LYTTLE FOR GETTING ANOTHER HAT TRICK
