Jarvis nets fours as Golds hit Oakwood for six

Jason Jarvis netted four, while Peter Beadle and Adam Goff were also on target as Golds extended their unbeaten league run to six games and moved up to seventh in the table.

Jarvis missed an early chance to put Golds ahead, and after both Barney Boutwood and David Gaskin also squandered chances, they finally went in front a minute before half-time through Jarvis’ precise finish from a Boutwood pass.

He doubled his tally three minutes after the break, then Goff made it 3-0 with his first goal for the club on 58 minutes.

Jarvis completed his hat-trick with a shot in off the post on 74 minutes, then Beadle smashed home the fifth two minutes later from a Richie Hellen free kick. Jarvis then took his tally to four to round off the scoring late on and complete a dominant Littlehampton showing.

Golds manager John Suter was pleased with his team’s performance and said: “It was a good team performance and JJ (Jason Jarvis) took his goals well and was excellent.

“We could have had 12 but our form is pleasing and to be up to seventh from where we were a few weeks back is nice.

“Oakwood have lost their manager and a lot of their players, so they’re in crisis but it was a good win and it continues our good form.”

Golds are at Little Common in the league on Saturday and host Lancing in the Sussex Senior Cup on Wednesday.

LITTLEHAMPTON: Fuller; Goff, O’Hagan, McKay, Wollers; Beadle, Peacock, Hellen, Gaskin; Boutwood, Jarvis. Subs: Collender (Peacock 75), Tabor (Goff 79), Askew.
