WORCESTER Raiders made it two wins in a week on Saturday as an Isaac Cooper hat-trick guided them to a thumping 7-0 win at Shortwood United.
On the back of their 4-2 win at home on Tuesday night against FC Stratford, Raiders were in confident mood and having been kept out for the first 20 minutes, they then romped home to cement their place in fourth in the Hellenic League Division One table.
Raiders scored four goals in a deadly eight minute spell between the 22nd and 30th minute as Cooper bagged three and Kai Mahon scored his fourth goal in just his second game for the club.
An own-goal just before the break made it five and that was that in terms of the result.
Raiders were not done there, however, as former West Brom full-back Aksum White scored his first goal six minutes after the break before a late header from Kirk Layton completed the rout.
Elsewhere in the division, Pershore Town threw away a 2-0 lead at home to Milton United to go down 3-2.
The Plums were leading at half-time thanks to goals from Sam Clark and Roland Krol but a 90th minute winner from Brett Gardner sealed the comeback win.
In the Hellenic Premier, Malvern Town were 4-1 winners over Calne Town.
