In the Premier division Pac Builders came out on top 3-2 in a competitive game with Fad Continentals. The game started brightly with Pac enjoying the better of the opening exchanges and they deservedly took the lead when Adam Thompson was brought down in the box, Thompson took the penalty himself to open the scoring. Fad rallied, and were unlucky not to equalize when the ball came crashing back off the bar to safety. Continued Fad pressure paid off after the break when they were awarded a penalty, which Daniel Roger dispatched with ease. Minutes later, Fad swept into the lead when Lee Ebanks was on hand to finish off a good move. The third penalty of the game was awarded to Pac and Adam Thompson stepped up to score his second and bring the score level at 2-2. In the final minutes it was man of the moment Adam Thompson who rose to head home his second hat trick of the season and ensure victory for Pac Builders.
