'When he's at the Windmill, He Blooming Scores All Night.' The Ben Mackey song rang out round the New Windmill as the youngest player ever to feature in Coventry's first team scored a hat trick in Leamington's 5-1 demolition of Stourport Swifts.
A crowd of 513 saw Swifts open the scoring from a free kick on 4 minutes. A minute later great work on the left involving Richard Adams allowed Ben Mackey to equalise. Richard Adams rounded the keeper to make it 2-1 on 12 minutes and that was the score at half time.
Josh Blake turned provider on 57 minutes to allow Mackey to make it 3-1. A goalmouth scramble on 65 minutes allowed the tireless Jacko to open his account with the Brakes. After Richard Adams had hit the post with a corker of a shot, Ben Mackey made it 5-1 from the penalty spot.
Swifts never gave up, but Tom Bates showed the benefit of his Football League experience at the end of last season when he came on, laying off some excellent balls. Mackey was able to show his skill, juggling with the ball as he rounded defenders.
Silver Biscuit Ben Mackey.

Wyn, will you have any time to meet up in Chicago?
I have some meetings next week but am in town all week.
Would be nice to have a pint or some lunch?
