Midfielder George Reid’s switch to a striking role for Vale of White Horse Under 14s paid dividends with a hat-trick in a 7-0 win over Stroud in the Vale Cup at Milton.
He opened the scoring with a shot after five minutes, before Owen Shaw doubled Vale’s lead. Reid then turned in a low cross for his second, and Anthony Martin added the fourth from close range.
He completed his hat-trick early in the second half with a cross which the Stroud keeper could not hold, and Jared Jones added two more to keep Vale’s 100 per cent record intact.
