Darren Frost scored a hat-trick as on-song Cogenhoe United moved joint top of the Chromasport United Counties League Premier Division with a 7-1 thrashing of Harborough Town at Compton on Tuesday night.
Andy Marks’s men were too strong for a Borough side that is still adjusting to life in the top flight following their promotion from division one, wlthough the visitors started the stronger and actually took the lead on 19 minutes through Ben Barton.
It took just three minutes for the Cooks to square the match through Frost, and from then on in it was one-way traffic.
Jamie Russell made it 2-1 in on 27 minutes before in first-half stoppage time Frost made it 3-1, tapping in after Robbie Bushell’s shot was deflected into his path.
A confident Cooks side continued to create openings after the interval. A close range Josh Urquhart header made it four after 52 minutes and four minutes later Lewis Leslie stole in at the back post to head in Jed Ainge’s flag kick from the left.
Frost completed his hat trick after 68 minutes and the scoring was completed nine minutes from time as Sam Heavey notched.
Long Buckby’s woes continued asa they slumped to a 2-0 home defeat to Quorn, who remain unbeaten.
The Bucks were on the back foot from 38 seconds in when Kris Nurse made it 1-0, and it wasa 2-0 midway through the first half.
Buckby battled hard to get back in the game, but could find no way through.
