Attached you’ll find Newent Town’s very own hat-trick hero (well, hat-trick-plus-one if we’re being picky), Dylan Hart, proudly clutching the match ball after Newent Town’s 7–2 demolition of Carterton earlier this month.

In the first photo, Dylan is all smiles, holding up 3 fingers the now classic hat-trick pose. In the second photo, He’s still smiling, but now holding up 4 fingers, because, let’s be honest, maths wasn’t his strong point in the heat of the moment and he actually scored FOUR, forgetting the pose was for his hat-trick.

The game itself started like a proper contest. For the opening half hour, Carterton were shading it, and we were beginning to wonder if anyone had remembered to put the nets up at our end. But then, former Worcester City man Dylan Hart decided enough was enough, strapped on his shooting boots, and turned into a one-man highlight reel.

Goal. Goal. Goal. (Pause for dramatic effect.) Goal.

By the 70th minute he’d done enough damage to Carterton’s goal difference (and probably their confidence), so we hauled him off to give them a breather.

Final score: Newent Town 7 – 2 Carterton.

Final verdict: Dylan Hart loves goals almost as much as he loves posing with footballs.

All joking aside, well done Dylan. Keep going and enjoy scoring we hope more goals.
