  • Lewis Powell joins the most exclusive club – Hat-trick Hero’s!

    Lewis Powell joins the most exclusive club – Hat-trick Hero’s!

    With hat-tricks suddenly becoming the hottest membership card in town, Lewis Powell has officially added his name to the board — and he did it in style when it mattered most.

    In the heat of the North Bristol Derby against Roman Glass St George, it was Powell who stepped forward to swing the momentum back in Mangotsfield United’s favour. With the visitors trailing, Powell struck on 30 minutes to draw The Field level, calmly finishing to restore belief and settle any early nerves.

    That goal, however, was merely the opening act.

    After the break, Powell went from composed to ruthless. In a blistering seven-minute spell, he added two more goals, completing a superb hat-trick and firmly putting Mangotsfield out of reach of any late Roman Glass comeback. Where derbies often tighten, Powell delivered clarity — decisive, controlled, and clinical.

    The speed of the turnaround left the opposition with little time to react. One moment the contest was finely balanced, the next it was being quietly escorted beyond reach by a forward playing with confidence and conviction.

    While the jokes may continue about expanding the “hat-trick heroes” board, Powell’s performance deserves serious recognition. Derby matches demand temperament as much as talent, and Powell showed both — taking his chances, managing the moment, and delivering when his side needed him most.

    Congratulations to Lewis Powell on a memorable hat-trick in one of the toughest fixtures of the season. On a day when pressure was guaranteed, he turned it into opportunity — and earned his place among the season’s standout performances. ⚽🔥

  • Harlie Price Does It Again: Three Games, Three Hat-Tricks… Should We Open Him a Goal Shop?

    Harlie Price Does It Again: Three Games, Three Hat-Tricks… Should We Open Him a Goal Shop?

    There comes a point in a season when statistics stop being helpful and the match reporter simply shrugs. We appear to have reached that point with Harlie Price.

    Another game, another hat-trick — or possibly another two — if we’re honest, we’re struggling to keep up. What we do know is this: Price has added three more hat-tricks to his season tally, and at this stage it feels less like a purple patch and more like a weekly subscription service.

    The running joke around the club now is whether Harlie is planning to open a new football shop, because he’s collecting match balls at a rate that suggests bulk storage will soon be required. Failing that, we may simply dedicate an entire page of the programme — perhaps even a supplement — to documenting the sheer volume of goals he’s producing.

    Defenders are trying everything. Different systems. Different partners. Different prayers. None of it seems to matter. Price keeps finding space, finding chances, and finding the net with the kind of regularity that turns “man of the match” into a formality.

    But behind the humour is a serious point. You don’t keep scoring hat-tricks by accident. It takes movement, sharp finishing, composure under pressure, and a mentality that demands more every time the ball hits the back of the net. Price is showing all of that — week after week.

    So while the club media team scrambles to update stats and double-check score sheets, one thing is absolutely clear:

    Congratulations to Harlie Price on adding three more hat-tricks to an already remarkable season. We’ll keep counting… as best we can.

    Next game?

    We’ll bring extra paper. ⚽🔥

    Hat-Trick Hero Griffiths Fires Wellington FC to Victory

    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.

  • Wantage Town 8–1 Woodford United

    Wantage Town 8–1 Woodford United

    Alfredian Park | Attendance: 100

    Wantage Town turned on the style at Alfredian Park with an emphatic 8–1 victory over Woodford United in a game that showcased attacking football, clinical finishing, and two memorable individual performances.

    The hosts were out of the blocks quickly and established control early on. By half-time, Wantage had built a commanding 4–0 lead, thanks to sharp movement and ruthless use of possession. Josh Davis led the way in the opening period, helping himself to two goals before the interval and setting the tone for the afternoon.

    The second half followed a similar pattern, with Wantage continuing to press forward. Luke Whelan took centre stage after the break, completing a superb hat-trick, while Davis added his third to claim one of two match balls on the day. Michael Miller also found the net twice, and Thomas Rees added another as the goals continued to flow.

    Woodford United’s task became even tougher when they were reduced to ten men, and to their credit they continued to compete despite the numerical disadvantage. The visitors were rewarded with a well-earned consolation goal, showing determination and spirit even as the scoreline grew.

    While the final result was a heavy one, it reflected a very strong Wantage performance rather than a lack of effort from Woodford, who battled throughout under difficult circumstances.

    A highly entertaining afternoon for the home support, with Wantage Town combining teamwork, tempo, and finishing to produce a performance — and scoreline — that will live long in the memory.

    Hat-Trick Hero No.1: Josh Davis

    Josh Davis clearly arrived at Alfredian Park in the mood for goals. Two before half-time wasn’t enough, so he added a third later on just to make sure nobody else walked off with his match ball. Constantly on the move and always asking questions of the Woodford defence, Davis turned in a performance that defenders dread and goalkeepers replay in slow motion later that evening. To top it all off, Josh posed with his best Christmas smile for the cameras when collecting the match ball!

    Hat-Trick Hero No.2: Luke Whelan

    Not to be outdone, Luke Whelan decided that if one Wantage player was having a hat-trick kind of day, then two definitely should. Calm, composed, and seemingly always in the right place at the right time, Whelan completed his treble with the air of someone who’d done it all before, and might have fancied a fourth if time allowed.

    A Little Late, But the Goals Were Right on Time!

    We might be a bit late reporting this, but we’re thrilled to share that the goals were perfectly on point!

    James Baldwin delivered an incredible performance, scoring four goals in an away match against Carterton. This marks his second hat-trick in just one month, and he didn’t stop there, he added an extra goal for good measure.

    What a phenomenal run of form from Baldwin is clinical, confident, and unstoppable!

  • Hat-Trick Hurricane: Josh Davis Tears Through Malmesbury in Ten Minutes

    Hat-Trick Hurricane: Josh Davis Tears Through Malmesbury in Ten Minutes

    A complete first-half masterclass from our number 10, Josh Davis, a man clearly on a mission, and apparently allergic to not scoring goals. He delivered a blistering ten-minute hat-trick that left Malmesbury looking like they needed a group meeting, a breather, and possibly a new game plan.

    The opener came when Josh reacted quicker than anyone else in the box, honestly, he moved like someone who’d just heard the last slice of pizza was up for grabs. He smashed home from six yards with so much power the goalkeeper could only wave at it politely as it flew past.

    Barely had the celebrations died down when Josh was at it again. He broke through the Malmesbury back line with the confidence of a man who’d already decided he was scoring, strolled toward goal, and calmly slotted it past the advancing keeper. Cool. Composed. Clinical. Probably didn’t even break a sweat.

    But the third… that one had everything. Determination, drama, maybe even a touch of comedy. Josh beat a defender, rounded the goalkeeper, and looked certain to finish, until his effort was blocked on the line by a very determined defender. No problem. Josh just picked up the rebound and hammered it home anyway, completing his hat-trick in style and confirming that yes, this was absolutely his half.

    An outstanding treble in ten minutes, and a performance that had the crowd wondering if Josh had somewhere he needed to be, because he certainly wasn’t hanging around.

    The team signed his match ball and Josh posed for a picture!

  • Hat-Trick Hero Strikes Again: Aidan Clark Bags Second Treble Against Tuffley!

    Hat-Trick Hero Strikes Again: Aidan Clark Bags Second Treble Against Tuffley!

    If Tuffley had nightmares after the first encounter, they’ll need therapy after this one. Aidan Clark has done it again, netting his second set of three goals against the same unlucky side this season. That’s right, two hat-tricks, one victim. Somewhere in Gloucestershire, defenders are running scared.

    The match started with Tuffley showing promise, but that lasted about as long as a chocolate teapot in a heatwave. Clark opened the scoring with a finish so calm it could have been sipping tea. His second? A thunderbolt that nearly needed planning permission. And the third? Well, let’s just say the goalkeeper is still checking if the ball had a tracking device.

    Fans were chanting, teammates were grinning, and even the referee looked impressed, though he still booked someone for celebrating too hard. With this performance, Clark has officially become Tuffley’s least favourite person since whoever invented away fixtures.

    The big question now: Can anyone stop him? Or should Tuffley just start sending him Christmas cards and hope for mercy?
