Hakin’s hat-trick heroes Woodrow and Harding
Hakin United 7 – Neyland 0
Reigning champions Hakin United proved on the day they had too much quality and fire power for visiting Neyland to cope with at the Obs.
It’s going to be an extremely busy month for Scott Davies’ Vikings who are currently fifteen points behind leaders Goodwick and have six games in hand.
The Vikings led 2-0 at the break as Adam John’s ball over the top saw Shane Walsh run clear to score with a composed finish, on stroke of half time, Nicky Woodrow headed home Leon Luby’s cross.
After the break the Vikings continued to control matters as Woodrow swivelled in the box to score his side’s third, again another assist by the lively Luby on the right.
Gavin Rowlands’ Nomads outfit were constantly put on the back foot as the Vikings poured forward, Woodrow bagged his hat-trick for the fourth, then the timely introduction of vastly experienced substitute Justin ‘Skinny’ Harding who scored twice in the 76th and 82nd minutes.
The visitors were reduced to ten-man as defender Ben Fairbairn was sent off, in the 93rd minute the Vikings were awarded a penalty which Harding confidently despatched for his hat-trick past keeper Peter Blain.
