Western Bureau: Craig Foster continued his rich scoring form, scoring a hat-trick for Reno who defeated Rivoli United 5-0 at the Frome Sports Complex, yesterday in the sixth round of the Red Stripe Premier League.

Foster netted his first in the 43rd minute of play and got his second, three minutes after the half-time break from the penalty spot, after the referee awarded Reno a penalty for an infringement inside the area on Afiba Chambers.

The Rivoli defence was breached in the first-half when Foster's strike partner Denmark Gillings fired them in front in the 41st minute.

Second half substitute Aldaine Grant made coach Patrick Graham's decision to introduce him into the action a master stroke when he scored in the 70th minute, to make the score 4-0.

A second penalty, scored by Foster in the 73rd minute, made the score a commanding 5-0 in favour of the home team and completed the striker's hat-trick. Cory Burke scored the visitor's lone goal of the contest.
