Porter carried City of Peterborough into a National Cup Final, plus the draw for the popular Roger Brummitt mixed hockey tournament
Captain Matt Porter hit a hat-trick as City of Peterborough closed in on a famous league and cup double.
City wrapped up the East Premier Division title a couple of weeks ago and now they have cruised into the final of the English Tier 2 KO Cup with a 6-0 semi-final win in Bristol against Clifton Robinsons.
City made a strong start with Porter opening the scoring on 11 minutes. Lewis Pywell soon followed up with another goal to make it 2-0 at half-time. Things remained tight at the beginning of the second half until Adam Steffanelli Wilson added a 3rd in the 60th minute.
City then finished strongly scoring a further three goals in 8 minutes. Porter completed his hat-trick with two more goals while Zak Scotting also netted.
City will now head to the Lee Valley National Hockey Centre to face Bowdon 2nds in the final on Sunday, May 4.
The men's Over 45s were hoping to emulate the first XI in their quarter final of the Tier 2 Cup, but fell short, going down 4-1 to Herne Bay. The only goal coming from Gary Hales.
The men’s second team finished their East Division One programme with a 5-2 defeat at champions Cambridge University. Dan Barkworth struck both goals from short corners.
