Tom Ingram's hat-trick proved in vain for Blewbury, who were unable to stop Drayton maintaining their 100 per cent record in North Berks League Division 1 with a 4-3 home win, writes ANDY WELLS.
Stephen Munns's volley and a Kevin Kogel strike gave Drayton a two-goal cushion in the first 15 minutes, before Ingram pulled a goal back.
