Goals have never been in short supply whenever I’ve visited the floodlight M-way Stadium at Springbank Park and tonight continued that trend. Five more goals were added to the tally that now stands at 24 goals in four games seen there. Unfortunately for Stone, four of the five scored at this evening’s game came from the visitors who maintained their promotion push. Liam Newman bagged a hat-trick, scoring twice during a ‘three goals in 10 minutes’ spell midway through the first half to put his side in control. Stone rallied after pulling a goal back during the second half but Newman netted his third goal in second-half stoppage time to wrap things up.
