THERE was a thumping one-sided win for Blueharts against Crostyx.

They romped to an 11-0 win after John Barrett opened the scoring with a penalty stroke.

Jimmy Lewis scored a first-half hat-trick and Matt Gardner and Andy Slack also got in on the act to make it six without reply at the break.

In the second half, five more goals were added as Lewis took his personal tally to five. Barrett got his second and Ashley Hammond also grabbed a brace.

The emphatic victory saw Harts move up to sixth place in the East Premier A Division.

The result of the day was the seconds beating Upminster 1sts 6-2.

The first came after a fine move saw Phil Britton find space in the area and fire home.

A slack 10 minute period saw Blueharts take their foot off the gas and Upminster raced forward to score a scrappy equaliser and then net a second.

Blueharts regrouped and Tim Price was able to equalise at the back post after a fine move down the left.

The second half saw Blueharts dominate as Price completed his hat-trick before getting a fourth.

Britton's second, after a glorious run, really broke Upminster's resolve.

The Hicks brothers, Matt and Andy, both enjoyed excellent games at right and left half. Dominating Dan Drew's presence in the middle of the pitch set the platform for the strikers.

MBDA suffered a disappointing 3-0 loss at Bishop's Stortfold 5ths following two good victories.
