TOP marksman Matt Hart has helped Hatch Warren under-12s to promotion in the Peter Houseman League.

He netted five times in his side's final match of the season to bring his seasonal tally to an amazing 52 goals.

The 8-0 home win over Woolton Hill ensured promotion from division one to the premier division next season.

The arrival of manager Chris Collins has brought an amazing turnaround in the team. A year ago they finished fourth from bottom.

Before the weekend, Hatch Warren under-12s topped the table but they expected to he overtaken by Thames Valley Juniors, who still have two matches to play.

Nevertheless, the local team are guaranteed a top-two finish after losing just three times and winning 19 games.
