FIVE-STAR DAWSON’S THE CHIEF DESTROYER

A PAUL Dawson hat trick inspired Bamber Bridge to a win.

Three from Dawson and a goal each for Chris Marlow and Matt Dudley sent Brig on their way to back-toback wins.

The game didn’t start well though for Micky Taylor’s men, when Hyde’s captain Jordan Fagbola stabbed home.

Brig took less than 10 minutes to find their response, with Paul Dawson bulleting home a header.

And, things got even better on the half hour mark, when Chris Marlow fired home.

With half time approaching Matt Dudley then got in on the act and struck home a magnificent free kick.

Darren Kelly made changes at half time and the visitors almost found a way back into the game, when Tom Pratt crashed an effort off the woodwork.

The Tigers fell further behind on the hour when Dawson added his second and his team’s fourth with a beauty of a strike from distance.

Brig’s No.6 didn’t plan on stopping there, and on 70 minutes he rifled home for his hat trick to plunge the home side into a 5-1 lead.

Hyde pulled one back in the closing stages through their No.9 Chib Chilaka, but that was only a consolation on an afternoon that thoroughly belonged to Bamber Bridge.
