Nathan Wilkes netted his fourth hat-trick of the season as Warmley Rangers gained their second double victory of the campaign against Keynsham Town, winning 8-2 on aggregate.

In the first half of game one, Warmley had no less than 15 shots on target but were unable to beat the Keynsham keeper until the deadlock was broken by George Wilshire, who scored from a Callum Birkinshaw corner.

The second half saw Warmley play some fine passing football – and the goals came thick and fast.

Wilkes made it 2-0 after being set up by Wilshire's through ball from centre midfield. Wilkes then netted the third and Wilshire scored again, this time from Mason Lewis's corner.

Wilkes completed his fourth hat-trick of the season with the fifth goal, leaving left-wing dynamo Birkinshaw to fire home the sixth.

The second game was a much closer affair. Keynsham pressed hard with some good attacking football, but Cory Goodhind opened the scoring for Warmley, slotting home from Jack Baker's pass.

Keynsham upped their game again in the second half and keeper Sam Clay pulled off a couple of fine saves but he could not stop the Town equaliser.

Jack Baker restored Warmley's lead after a solo run from the centre of the field but Keynsham hit back to draw 2-2 with another well-worked goal.
