A superb team performance from Division 1 leaders Cookham Dean (Sunday) saw them beat Premiership opponents Shamrocks 4:2 to advance to the next round of the Roy Lester trophy. All Cookham's goals were scored in a devastating first half display, with leading goalscorer James Gisbourne grabbing the headlines with a well taken hattrick. Defender Dan Wilson opened the scoring with a stooping far post header from Dean Knight's cross following a corner. Shamrocks equalised shortly after but Cookham went back in front when Gisbourne's drive was turned on to the post by the keeper only to be deflected off him into the net. Adam Kennedy set up the next goal with a fine pass to Gisbourne who cut in from the right to slot home. Gisbourne saved his best finish with the fourth goal for his hattrick, with a fine solo run when he cut in from the left to beat two defenders and hit an unstoppable drive from the edge of the box. Cookham had to cope with periods of sustained pressure from Shamrocks in the second half as they looked to reduce the deficit but their defence led by the outstanding Dan Wilson, only conceded one further goal ten minutes from time. Before then Cookham had more chances to extend their lead, with the best falling to Lee Jerum who dragged his shot wide after a mazy run.
