Luncarty hit the goal trail again to defeat Kennoway and remain top of the First Division table

Free-scoring Luncarty again showed off their clinical edge in front of goal.

The Bleachers knocked five beyond Kennoway Star Hearts - conceding one - on another very productive afternoon at Brownlands Park.

There was no surprise to see Rhys Davies claim a hat-trick, while Scott Sutherland and Craig Mitchell also found the back of the net.

Luncarty have scored 22 goals in their opening four First Division matches.

“It was a very hot day on Saturday and we found ourselves 2-0 up without really finding our rhythm,” said manager Robbie Holden.

“A sloppy goal got them back in the game but in the second half we upped it and ran out comfortable winners.

“There were chances to add more but again we are delighted to score five.

“The amount of goals we’re scoring at the moment is really positive. Last year I felt our play at times was excellent without the cutting edge.

“But now we are finding that so it’s been a good start. The new boys have hit the ground running and I think they will only get better.”

Luncarty sit top of the early standings and Holden says the level has been set.

“It’s easy to do it over a short number of games,” he added.

“The challenge now is over the next 26 league games as well as the cup.

“It’s a break from the league in the next couple and a chance to get minutes for a few players coming back from holiday and injury.”
