Scott Bakkor hat-trick as Witton Albion beat Radcliffe FC 4-1

Scott Bakkor takes the headlines with a true 34-minute hat-trick, but Carl Macauley's entire team delivered in a 4-1 success at Radcliffe FC.

Will Jones bagged the fourth goal late on after the hosts had pulled a goal back but Albion were on the front foot from early on, eager to make up for the previous weekend's poor showing at home to Whitby Town.

New arrival Bakkor took no time at all in stamping his mark all over this contest at the Neuven Stadium.

His spectacular strike from 25 yards put Witton in front after five minutes.

And a neat little assist from Jones allowed Bakkor to double the advantage four minutes later.

He got past the last defender and rounded the keeper for his hat-trick score and quite honestly it could have been four or five at that point.

It has to be said the celebrations matched the quality of the finishes.

Witton's keeper Chris Renshaw was needed on a couple of occasions in the second period of the opening half, but was equal to what came his way.

Radcliffe, who had lost 4-2 at Buxton last weekend, gave some warning that they were not giving up in the second half, hitting the crossbar with a free-kick in the 50th minute and finally rewarding their own efforts with a goal 10 minutes from time.

But any hopes of a late rally and snatching something from the game ended when Jones wrapped up the scoring in the 85th minute.

And the fans seemed happy to have the day out at the football with a victory to boot.
