Hat-Trick for Osborne

Osborne, brought in at centre forward, scored a hat-trick in this match.
He netted his first goal ten minutes after the start following a neat pass from McDonald.
At 15 minutes Dickinson's drew level through a fine header by Barnes, but after a further 20 minutes Osborne threaded his way through the Croxley defence and passed for Compton to score from close range.
Osborne added a third within two minutes.
With a stiff breeze to aid them, Croxley, for whom Bass had been very active, would make up the arrears.
They certainly had more of the game territorially, but when the Sun did not check their attacks, their shooting was wild.
In the 75th minute, an Osborne-Compton movement paved the way for McDonald to put Sun further ahead, and ten minutes afterward Osborne completed his hat-trick.
