FOOTBALL: Jack is Didcot spot-kick king!
11:40pm Tuesday 19th August 2008
A first-half hat-trick from Jack King, including two penalties, earned Didcot their first points of the new Division 1 South & West campaign.
King headed home after three minutes to get Didcot off the mark and he made it 2-0 from the spot four minutes later after Michael Bartley was tripped.
The match was virtually over when King bagged his third on the half hour. Jamie Heapy was fouled inside the box and King thumped home the penalty for his hat-trick.
The young Hayes side could find no way back after the break, while Didcot held on comfortably for the points, with Liam Hope producing their best second-half effort.
Didcot Tn: Watkins, Heapy, Bicknell, Williams, Brown, Howell, Hopkins (Burnley 70), King (Mortimer-Jones 45), Bartley, Roach (Vine 75), Hope.

There’s nothing King Couer-de-Loup likes more than a good battle: “We’ll march on King Florizel’s wet and wicked army,” he proclaims. His Queen is not so sure, however. She would rather her husband stayed around: there’s the christening of their daughter Princess Aurora to arrange for a start. And he certainly can’t go out and fight looking like that: “Your chain mail’s got a ladder in it,” she wails.
