Clarke's "Derby" hat-trick

The wheel of fortune made the three distinct revolutions in this Premier Division match at Scotsbridge Meadow on Saturday.
First, it went in Rickmansworth's favour with a second minute goal from D Clarke, who added a second goal in the 51st minute.
Then it turned full cycle to provide a goal for Terry Hogan in the 59th minute and the equaliser for Eric Williams in the 74th minute.
But there was no stopping there, for play once again favoured the Town, and to emphasise the change Clarke completed his hat-trick in the 77th minute.
And from the match, the lesson to be learned was that chances are one thing, goals another - and much more important.
Sun certainly had opportunities, but hesitancy here, the sliced kick there, frustrated their hopes, as did the very reliable performance of Rickmansworth's centre half Bob Branford.
