12th September 2006 Faversham Town Res 4 Tunbridge Wells Res 3 NICKY SCOTT sent first-team boss Terry Cordice a reminder of his goal-scoring prowess with a hat-trick inside 55 minutes as Faversham Town Reserves secured an historic first win in Kent League Two. Striker Scott was on fire for Brett Harrison's boys as they stormed into a 4-1 lead against Wells only to endure a nerve-jangling finale as the visitors staged a late fightback. Town went behind on 10 minutes to a bizarre opener with goalkeeper Tony Diment shaking his head in disbelief after a mishit half-volley looped over his head. They were back on terms on 25 minutes with Scott slotting home confidently after going clear and Dave Read's own half-volley 10 minutes later made it 2-1. Town had former first team player Adam Hewitson in midfield after he re-signed before kick-off and they enjoyed a good spell heading towards the interval. And it was no surprise when Scott scored a third soon after the re-start before completing his hat-trick on 55 minutes. Town's problems started when Read (heel) and Scott (hand) were forced off injured, two substitutions which came on top of the first-half withdrawal of Brad Chapel after he experienced breathing difficulties. Boss Harrison came on to do a job up front but was forced back into midfield when Hewitson picked up a knock and Town were living on borrowed time. But they held on for a well-deserved win despite two late goals from Lordswood which piled on the pressure. Harrison said: "To be fair, I was shocking and definitely responsible for their second goal after giving the ball away. We were fighting for our lives at the end there after a series of injuries but I always thought we would beat Tunbridge Wells. "We were made to work a little but harder than I had hoped but I'm still pleased to have recorded our first win. Nicky Scott was the undoubted star of the show. He took his goals well."
