LANCE Smith scored a second-half hat-trick in Evesham United’s 6-0 demolition of AFC Totton in Evo-Stik Southern League Division One South and West.

On a cold afternoon at the Spiers and Hartwell Jubilee Stadium, it was Evesham who were sharpest from the start.

The first goal came from a Nick Stanley cross that fell to Adam Mann, who found space in the box to shoot past ‘keeper Steve Mowthorpe from 10 yards to give the Robins the lead after seven minutes.

On 20 minutes, Smith shot over from point-blank range when it was easier to score, with Totton only creating the odd chance in reply.

After half-time, the visitors began brightly and had a good opportunity with a 20-yard shot from Mike Gosney that went just wide.

But the hosts doubled their lead 10 minutes after the break as Smith grabbed his first of the afternoon, getting behind the Stags defence before rounding Mowthorpe to finish from a tight angle.

Smith scored his second on 73 minutes from substitute Lewis Powell’s cross by shooting a curled effort home from 15 yards.

The provider turned scorer two minutes later as striker Powell rounded Mowthorpe to score Evesham’s fourth on his debut after signing from Mangotsfield United.

Totton conceded their fifth with three minutes to go as Evesham captain Matt Sysum got free in the box to volley home from Sean Wood’s inswinging corner.

Smith grabbed his hat-trick with the final move of the game, heading in his third goal and the Robin’s sixth.

Evesham: Sawyer, Dovey (Wilson 74), Stanley, Williams, Sysum, Wellon, Brown (Sloggett 60), Wood, Mann (Powell 60), Smith, Green. Subs not used; Harding, Binns.

Attendance: 219.
