Joe Jordan was the hat-trick hero as Redbridge B extended their perfect run to eight matches after outclassing Los Blancos.

RJC settled quickly and they were rewarded for their early pressure with a goal, as Sollosi glided past three defenders and finished clinically.
The second goal soon followed, and it was a great a team goal involving four brilliant first-time passes with Adam Goldman, Jordan and Sollisi all involved. The move was finished with a simple tap in by Sollosi.
RJC were dominant and they scored a third when a lofted pass by player-manager Sam Rank found the captain Gayer who drove at the Blancos defence, and his shot took a deflection and went past the keeper.
The hosts continued to press and a fourth goal arrived when a good move involving Daniel Bean was finished confidently by the maraudingJordan.
The fifth goal came via a set-piece after Daniel Bean was brought down on the edge of the box. The resulting free-kick was tucked away impressively by Jordan.
The match was effectively over as a contest but Blancos fashioned an opportunity to pull one back on the stroke of half-time when one of their attackers got in behind the RJC defence. Dan Andrews found himself on the wrong side of the attacker who was brought down and the ref pointed to the spot. RJC keeper Scott Shear was determined to keep his clean sheet and he did just that with a top-class double save from the penalty and rebound. JC Sport understands Andrews was spotted in Deliphone bagel bakery after, buying a few for Scott Shear as a thank you.
RJC introduced their four substitutes at the start of the second half to freshen things up. Sollosi rushed to the hospital to see his new, little nephew - Rocco Sollosi. Rank told JC Sport; "We wish the family big Mazel tov, and I am sure Rocco will be playing in an RJC shirt one day!"
The home side continued to dominate and returning player Moss was put through one-on-one and clinically finished - his first goal of the season for RJC. Jordan then finished a well worked move, to give him a very deserved second hat trick of the season.
There was still time for a goal of the week contender Cole who picked up the ball around 30 yards out and curled an unstoppable effort into top right hand corner. The icing was put on the cake, when the tireless worker Adam Goldman scored directly from a corner.
Reflecting on a "very professional performance," RJC boss Sam Rank was quick to praise a depleted Blancos team. He told JC Sport: "I would like to a very important point today. Los Bloncos today, had a lot of players missing due to fast of Teveth, and they still managed to bring 13/14 players. This is a real credit to them.
"With other teams forfeiting games in the MGBFSL. if teams would take the same attitude and commitment as Los Bloncos, less games would be forfeited.
"The 100 per cent record is still there and if the players keep the same focus, commitment and attitude I hope we can keep this going the whole way, as it would be some achievement."
Blancos boss Nick Grosse told JC Sport: "It was a terrible day at the office. We simply weren't good enough."
