Invicta Dynamos captain Andy Smith scores two hat-tricks as club register back-to-back league and cup victories
09:16, 31 October 2011
Andy Smith was twice a hat-trick hero for Invicta Dynamos over the weekend.
The Mos captain, pictured, bagged a treble in the 8-4 ENIHL Southern Cup win over the Wightlink Raiders on Saturday and repeated the feat in Sunday's 6-3 league victory at Oxford City Stars.
Invicta had Saturday's game wrapped up after the first period, during which they raced into a 5-0 lead through goals by Smith (2), Peter Beerling, Ryan Ellis and Adam Copland.
Daniel Fudger then made it 6-0 with the only goal of the second period and although Raiders staged a third-period revival with four goals, further strikes from Smith and Ellis confirmed Invicta's dominance.
At Oxford on Sunday, Dynamos found themselves 2-0 down early on but with Smith again lethal in front of goal Kevin Parrish's side were 5-3 up by the end of the second period and Smith completed his second hat-trick with the only goal of the final period.
It completed a good week for Parrish, who had earlier bolstered his depleted squad by signing defenceman Alastair Band from the Bristol Pullbulls.
