The same 2 combined again to the same effect, another through ball from Jon was drilled home by Trotter on 14 minutes. Trotter then completed his hat-trick on 35 minutes when sub Sam "Woppy" Wapshott (on for injured Ste Ashwin moments before) delivered a perfect corner for Trotter to nod past a helpless keeper. Trotter then turned provider on 41 minutes with a through ball to Danny Rai who scored with the help of the inside on the post. Marc "Tommo" Thomas found time to cross into the box on 44 minutes where Danny Rai saw his initial effort blocked but made sure he found the net when he was first to react to the rebound. Trotter added his 4th goal and Claregate's 6th in 1st half injury time where Tommo again provided a cross that Trotter met at the near post to finish neatly.<br style="color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" />With Claregate well in control, the 2nd half saw less goal action but some good attacking play from the home side. On 57 minutes Danny Rai grabbed an assist when he sent Woppy through on goal with Woppy finishing the move with ease. On 63 minutes Woppy scored the pick of the goals when Tommo found him with a pass 25 yards from goal and Woppy unleashed a shot that flew into the top corner. Claregate were awarded a penalty on 80 minutes when Ben Bickley was brought down in Pensnett's area. Woppy converted the resulting penalty emphatically to complete his hat-trick in what proved to be the final goal of the game. Other subs used were Tom Banks on for Lee Clutterbuck and Ste Cater on for Adam Goode. Man of the match went to Trotter for his clinical finishing but also stand out performances from Woppy, Tommo and Jon Wilson.<br style="color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;" />Next up for Claregate is a home tie in the cup against Shere Punjab Jacks on Sunday 10th December.
