Reserves Hit City For Six

Posted on: Wed 25 Aug 2010

Reserves

The second string ran out comfortable 6-0 winners over Salisbury City on Tuesday afternoon.

In their last scheduled match of the campaign, Stewart Henderson's side ran riot with Jamie White arguably the star of the show scoring four times including a first half hat-trick from the striker at the Raymond McEnhill stadium.

Saints went one up from the penalty spot as White celebrated his first of the game from 12 yards to set the visitors on their way.

Soon after he notched his second when Kayne McLaggon had a free-kick spilt by City's goalkeeper which White capitalised on to tuck home the rebound.

The forward completed his first half treble by knocking home McLaggon's cross just past the half hour mark, and there was even room for a fourth before the break when centre back Aarran Racine crashed home Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's corner with an unstoppable header.

After the break, Saints picked up from where they left off with White and McLaggon linking again to devastating effect as the former smashed home a shot in off the far post to make it 5-0.

The scoring finished midway through the second half with a fine individual goal from Oxlade-Chamberlain who cut in from the right and drilled a low shot into the far corner to complete the rout.

Youngsters Andy Robinson and Jordace Holder-Spooner were given run outs for the last half an hour of play, but the damage was done as the reserves ended their season on a high.

"It was comfortable for us," Henderson stated. "They had a young team out, as did we but they rarely threatened us and it was pleasing to finish the campaign this way.

"We've pushed players on this season and competed well in the new division despite a lot of injuries which has seen us play a lot of young sides."

Saints Res: Forecast, Argent (Robinson 60), Racine, Tafazolli, Saville, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Holder-Spooner 60), McNish, Pulis, Dunford, McLaggon, White. Subs (not used): Dovey, Hoskins, Keegan.
