Bedfordshire County League, Premier Division
Pavenham 7 Caldecote 1 (att 136)
Unlike some groundhoppers I don't keep a note of team line ups or goalscorers, so I can't be sure whether I've ever seen a player match the feat Pavenham's number nine, James Owen, achieved in this game.
He scored all seven of his side's goals, which apparently followed a five goal haul (out of Pavenham's six) last weekend.
While his contribution wasn't the sole difference between the two sides, he did ensure the scoreline was a little harsh on the visitors. Caldecote are struggling in the league, but while they created a fair few chances but lacked a goalscorer. They even failed to convert a second half penalty.
Pavenham's ground was similar to the morning's venue at Marston Shelton Rovers, and presumably many other Bedfordshire League grounds, as it was a roped off pitch on the village recreation ground. It has an enclosed feel though, with the pavilion immediately adjacent and a car park directly behind the goal, and once again the club were well organised to cope with the "hop".
