GOALS GALORE AT WINDSWEPT SILVER STREET

Barnetby and Briggensians shared 13 goals in Group B of the Hospital Cup in an entertaining encounter which battled the weather from start to finish.
Both sides were down to bare bones, Barnetby with just 11 and manager Fielden as the sole substitute and Briggensians a bare 11 with manager Craig Benson donning the gloves.
Barnetby kicked into the wind towards the railway lines and were 3-0 inside 24 minutes as Brendan O’Callaghan helped himself to a hat trick, twice fed in by superb 1st time balls from the newly wed and now 40-year-old Daniel Greaves.
Briggensians hit back with a superb strike from the edge of the box which gave Jackson in the goal no chance on 30 minutes.
38 minutes in and a quick throw from O’Callaghan saw Scott flick on a first time pass and Ryan Jordan dispatched home from 16 yards out to make the score 4-1.
Moments later Briggensians clipped a ball into the Barnetby box which was unfortunately turned into his own net Steve Jordan.
There was still time for O’Callaghan to add his 4th before the half time whistle to make the score 5-2.
In the opening 5 minutes of the restart O’Callaghan and Jordan both scored again before Liam Jordan was replaced by Fielden.
Briggensians reduced the score to 7-3 before O’Callaghan made it 8-3 with his 6th.
Ryan Jordan then clinically finished low into the bottom corner to bag his hat trick and become the first 16 year old since Will Hartley in March 2002 to perform the feat for Barnetby.
Briggensians still had time to notch a penalty to make the final score 9-4. Credit should go to Craig Benson in The Briggensians goal who pulled off some remarkable saves.
