Olly scores a first half hat trick
The Academy lads had a record-breaking win in the FA youth Cup at Cleator Moor today.
Tony McMahon's lads hit a record club score as a fan-owned club by thumping Cleator Moor 7-2, all of the goals coming in the first half.
Olly Johnson scored a hat trick – he has now scored four in a week – with Mark Gent, Ciaron Dixon, Reece McMann and an own goal getting the others.
We are now at home to North Shields or South Shields in the second qualifying round, the game to be played in week commencing 5th October.
