A HAT-TRICK from forward Matt Pinder handed Dudley Town victory at Pegasus Juniors last Saturday.

The striker, who arrived at the Dell from Stourport Swifts, showed his goalscoring ability to bag the Robins another three points as they look to push themselves away from the bottom end of the West Midlands Premier League.

Boss Andy Allardice said: "It was a really good win for us. We have been able to train twice a week recently as we haven't had so many mid-week games and I think that has really helped us.

"Matt (Pinder) is a forward with good potential. He got dropped for the previous game and I wanted to see a reaction from him, which is exactly what happened."

Dudley face Black Country Rangers this Saturday (3pm) looking to build on their improved form.

Defender James Crofts will me missing with a calf problem and Ethan Barnett will have a similar injury assessed ahead of the game.
