Millau didn't have it all their own way, as the home side went into half time trailing 3-1, too many sloppy mistakes during the first half costing Millau and not being able to gain any momentum.

This was through no fault of their own as they were having to shuffle the pack due to an injury unsettling them.

It took Millau a good half-hour to get into the match but they then settled and with no other forced changes, the home side were dominant.

The hat-trick hero was Nathan Pickering, who was also man of the match. He had scored the first goal to steady the ship after starting up front, but was taken off briefly before returning on the wing to complete his treble.

Everyone played their part in a strong performance, another stand-out player was Billy Tyler playing up front. He netted a goal, as did skipper Austen Wiles, George Jewitt-Knott, Rich Barnes and sub Josh Christlow.

Millau will be hoping to regain winning form in Division Two of the Right Car East Riding League this weekend when they take on Easington.
