Wellington FC forward Sam Griffiths produced a clinical finishing display to claim the match ball, netting a superb hat trick in a commanding performance for the hosts.

Griffiths opened the scoring with a striker’s instinct, meeting Tom Dixon’s low ball across the box with a perfectly timed first-time finish that left the goalkeeper with no chance.

The second goal showcased Wellington’s sharp wing play. After excellent work down the right from Elliott Potter, a well-weighted cut-back found Griffiths in space, and the forward made no mistake, calmly placing his effort into the bottom corner.

Griffiths completed his treble in spectacular fashion. From a corner delivered by Fin Davies, the forward unleashed a thunderous first-time strike, sending the ball high into the net and sealing a memorable afternoon.

It was a ruthless display of finishing from Griffiths, underlining his importance to Wellington FC and providing a performance that will live long in the memory of the home supporters.
