A James Hicks hat-trick inspired Tytherington to victory over struggling Cirencester United.

In the last six seasons the Rocks had beaten Cirencester United in every game against them and kept their unbeaten record.

Cirencester had a good start and played some good football which meant that Rocks goalkeeper Rob Dent made three vital saves before the visitors went ahead after 28 minutes.

A long pass from Rocks’ captain Mark Viner put Dave Legg away and the burly striker beat his namesake, Cirencester defender, Dave Legg, went around ‘keeper Lee Bailey and walked home the first goal.

Seven minutes later the Rocks were in charge as a huge kick from Dent went through the hosts’ rearguard and Hicks scored the best of his treble as he arrowed a low left footed shot into the far corner from 15 yards.

Thirteen minutes after the restart, the Rocks ‘scored twice, to settle the match.

Danny Thorpe, who had an impressive game, headed a free -kick back across the home goal after 54 minutes and Hicks was there to force in his second.

Four minutes later Irwin went forward and threaded a pass in front of Hicks, who got his hat-trick with a low effort into the net.

On Saturday, the Rocks are away at Clanfield (3pm).

l Winterbourne United succumbed to a first half effort from Liam Morbey in the 1-0 home defeat to Headington Amateurs.

l Tytherington Reserves followed their win away last week against Lockleaze with another well earned point in a 1-1 draw at home to Ridings with Pete Newton-Smith scoring for the Rocks.
