Oxford Hawks chalked up their first win of the season in the National Men's Division with a 3-2 triumph at St Albans on Saturday.

Gareth Parker was their hero, notching a hat-trick in a game where all five goals came in open play.

Parker fired Hawks in front, St Albans hit back to go 2-1 up at half-time, and then he struck with two more very well-taken goals.
