Leamington 3 (Bellingham 16, 51, 62)
Didcot Tn 5 (Draycott 25, Bartley 27, 39, 72, Sampson 84)
Michael Bartley hit a hat-trick as Didcot got back to winning ways against nine-man Leamington in a Premier Division thriller (Zamaretto southern league).
Mark Bellingham headed Leamington in front, only for Mark Draycott to level from close range, and Bartley to follow-up and score after Alex Stanley’s volley was parried.
Philip John set up Bartley who fired home his second into the corner.
After the break, though, Didcot sat back with a Bellingham brace bringing the hosts level, before they were reduced to ten men when Dale Peckham chopped down Bartley.
Bartley completed his treble from another John pass, before Sampson smashed home No 5.
Leamington were reduced to nine men when Marcus Jackson was red-carded for appearing to elbow Ian Sampson in the face.
Didcot Tn: Trott, Heapy, Jack (Hopkins 66), Stockinger (Mortimer-Jones 59), Brown, Stanley, Sampson, Tabor (Costello 59), Bartley, Draycott, John.
Attendance: 551.
