10/17/2017 0 Comments Super goal climaxes French hat-trickColin French reckons the goal which sealed his hat-trick and clinched Trojans’ 4-1 win over Tulse Hill & Dulwich was arguably among the best he has ever scored.
It came in the second half at Stoneham Lane with Trojans 3-1 up and preparing to celebrate Mark Tubb’s first South Premier League Division 2 win as manager. “It was a 3D dribble inside the circle, past several defenders and the Dulwich goal keeper, culminating in a lifted shot past the defender on the line,” he recalled. French has been a prolific goalscorer in local hockey for Trojans and Winchester over a long period of time, bagging his last treble in the 5-2 win over Blackheath a the tail end of last season.. “They don’t come much better than that,” he smiled. Trojans produced a disciplined performance against a Tulse Hill team that pushed Winchester hard for the Premier 2 title last season, but which has yet to chalk up a point from the three matches this term. “They are historically very structured and a side we generally don’t take three points from,” French recapped. Schoolmaster French, who had several ex-pupils lining up as team-mates, got Trojans scoring underway after a dribble and pin-point pass from the right baseline from KES debutant Jacob Faye. His second was a back post deflection coming from a quickly taken free hit outside the circle which caught the Dulwich defence out of position. Scott Summers added a third either side of what proved a consolation goal for Tulse Hill’s Ash Neale. Then came French’s hat-trick stunner, which sent Trojans’ celebrations into overdrive.
