A SUPERB hat-trick from Caro Harris enabled Oxford Hawks to snatch a dramatic 3-3 draw at home to Gloucester City in their Investec Western Conference clash.

Gloucester had led 1-0 at the break, but Hawks stepped up a gear after firm words from coach Andy Clark, and levelled through Harris from a penalty corner.

With five minutes left, Hawks trailed 3-1, after being temporarily reduced to nine players. They responded brilliantly and pulled the score back to 3-2 with Harris’s strike.

Then in injury time, they won another corner and to the delight of the home crowd, Harris completed her hat-trick to save a point.
