Hors field hat-trick


Blockheads 6, Red Star 1


A SECOND-HALF hat-trick by David Horsfield helped Bloc­ kheads to overcome a hard­ working Red Star side. Bloc­ kheads attacked down the slope, and a penalty by Wright ana a goal by Burgess put them 2-0' ahead at half-time. For a time Red Star gained


the initiative, but goals by Hors­ field and Burgess increased the Blockheads' lead. Bradley scored for Red Star,


but this was the only time they cracked a strong defence. Hors­ field scored Blockhead’s fifth goal and achieved his hat-trick from a pass by Alan Blenkinsop, a 13-year-old introduced as sub. Blockheads: Blain, Edmond­
