A HAT-TRICK by Jerry Bell piloted Everest Hikers to a 4-1 victory over Police in the latest match of the Far & Mendes first division hockey competition, played last Wednesday at Everest Cricket Club ground, Camp Road.
Bell, whose hat-trick was the first for the season, opened the scoring in the 14th minute with a reverse deflection goal from a pass 25 yards out by Robert Fernandes.
Everest Hikers led 1-0 at half-time.
Ten minutes into the second half, Bell sent his team further ahead from a short corner and made it 3-0, beating three defenders in the process, 10 minutes later.
Police pulled back a goal within the next five minutes when Kobina Forbes deflected a hard pass from a free hit by Shaul Nurse.
Shane Samuels sealed the issue for Everest Hikers just before game time after receiving a pass from Timothy McIntosh.
Everest Hikers were also successful in the John Fernandes Insurance Services Limited second division competition, recording a 2-0 win over the cops on Friday.
Jerry Marques, the brother of Jerry Bell, netted both goals, one in each half of play.
