Ethan Davidson and Aimlee Dickson also bagged a goal each. eThe penalty king was Ethan Davidson who also stepped between the sticks and sved all the penalties firs time around. The previous week’s winners were penalty queen Melissa Cherry and P1 Bailey Flynn. JUNIORS Four hat-trick men in the junior section on Wednesday night with Sam Kirk, David Graham, Reuben Lennon and Ethan Hanna all grabbing the glory. Also on the mark were Sam Carson, Caoilan Lennon and Karl Martin (2). Chloe Casement scored yet again to show the girls are every bit as good. The P4 penalty king was Jay Dickson with Lewis Kennedy and Jamie Carberry sharing the P3 penalty crown after a series of sudden deaths failed to separate them.
