Parker bags five goals as Hodnet hot-shots run riot

After reeling off victories in their opening two games, Hodnet served up a stunning performance at Morda to run out emphatic 10-2 winners.

After an evenly-contested 20 minutes it was Hodnet who struck first when Nicky Parker found the top corner from 25 yards.

That lead was quickly doubled thanks to a strike from Cam Dourish.

Morda rallied and reduced the deficit through Oliver Clarke, but Hodnet restored their two-goal advantage before the break when Parker added his second of the day.

The hosts came out fired up for the second half and were back in the contest when Louis Millington’s in-swinging corner deceived Hodnet keeper Byron Bingham and ended up in the net.

But that goal sparked a fine response from Hodnet with Parker completing his hat-trick before Jake Goddard made it 5-2.

Harry Macdonald then jinked his way through to add a sixth goal before Parker completed a fine individual day with two more goals.

Goddard and Connor Dunne struck late on to complete the scoring.
