A Phil McMorris hat-trick inspired St Neots Men's 1s to a 4-1 victory over Bourne Deeping 2s, helping extend their unbeaten run to 15 games and push the team towards promotion.

Saints took an early lead through a McMorris reverse strike, with Hugh Wilson eventually doubling the lead after they had squandered numerous chances.

As the game neared halftime, Saints conceded their first short corner to the hosts, who duly punished them to make it 2-1 at the break.

Despite the Bourne keeper frustrating St Neots in the second period, McMorris scored a double to secure the win and a hat-trick.

A fifteenth game without loss and other results going their way means promotion looks almost certain for St Neots, who now need one point from their final two games.

Louise Taylor scored the only goal to give Saints all three points and boost their chances of moving up the table with games in hand.

St Neots Men's 2s narrowly lost 2-1 away to Ely City 2s, the 3s drew 2-2 to fourth placed Spalding 3s, and the 4s won 2-0 against Spalding.

The Women's 2s picked moved into second place and closer to promotion after a 6-1 win over Kettering 2s, but the 3s and 4s both lost their fixtures.
