CHRIS Bladen’s hat-trick steered Cradley to an unlikely West Midlands Premier win over Wellington.

The Hammers trailed 3-1 to goals from David Price, Aaron Morgan and Paul Jones penalty.

But they battled back and James Johnson kept them within striking distance before Bladen’s second-half heroics capped an excellent week for Town.

On Wednesday they had earned a 2-1 win over Bilston with Will Tibbetts getting both goals. It was a result made all the more pleasing giving that Bilston won an earlier fixture between the two sides 6-1.

On Saturday Cradley face another testing trip to third-placed Smethwick Rangers.
