New signing Chris Francis hit a hat-trick in his full debut to fire Eynesbury Rovers into the semi-finals of the Hunts Senior Cup last night.
Rovers thumped Huntingdon 7-3 in a 10-goal thriller at Hall Road which also featured double-strikes from Lee Bassett and Matty Bannister.
Jack Jefferson struck twice and Aaron Petty also found the net for Huntingdon as they roared back from 4-0 down to trail 4-3 early in the second half, but Rovers regained the upper hand.
Godmanchester Rovers goal machine James Hall hit a hat-trick for the second time in four days as they breezed to Thurlow Nunn League Challenge Cup success.
The Premier Division title-chasers triumphed 7-0 at First Division strugglers Cornard in the opening round.
Hall made an early breakthrough before defender Taylor Parr doubled their advantage on the half-hour.
Their passage was secured by three goals in the space of eight minutes early in the second half – a Hall penalty, a Tom Spark strike and another from Hall as he completed an incredible fourth treble of the season so far.
Two Austen Diaper efforts then increased the margin of victory for Matt Clements’ free-scoring men.
