Chasetown 4 Oadby 1

A Dean Perrow hat-trick set up the Scholars for a comfortable victory.

Although Chasetown were in control for the majority of the game through a scrappy 24th minute goal, the game burst into life in the final quarter.

From a Ben Steane attempt the home side scrambled in the first goal.

The Oadby defence missed the ball at the far post and with Nick Hawkins, Kyle Perry and Perrow all taking swings at the loose ball, it was finally adjudged to have crossed the line with Perrow getting the credit.

In the 71st minute Pearson was the villain for the visitors as he took the legs of Perrow as the striker easily bypassed the keeper in the area.

Perrow confidently powered in the ball from 12 yards.

Ten minutes later, Oadby were handed a lifeline. Another Fisher free kick caught out Lee Evans who could only spill the ball and from close range Tom Dowsing blasted in the rebound.

Any hopes of a fightback were quashed by the award of a second penalty for the home side.

Perrow calmly crashed the ball past Pearson to record his first hat-trick for the club.

Craig Holland put the seal on a powerful second half performance for the Scholars as he jinxed his way into the area and slotted in a minute from time.
