Jake Mawford treble helps five-star Street slay Radstock Town
Street 5, Radstock Town 0
Jake Mawford bagged a brilliant hat-trick as a rampant Street side ran riot against Radstock Town.
Strike partner Steve Murray was also on target twice as Dan Badman's side moved up to fourth in the Toolstation Premier Division.
The home side made an excellent start to the game and were given a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes, courtesy of a pair of mistakes by visiting keeper Omar Lindsay.

Firstly, Lindsay could only palm Mawford's sixth-minute shot into the net after the Street striker had beaten Luke Ingram and Josh Reid with a dazzling turn of pace.
The Radstock stopper was then at fault when the hosts doubled their lead. Following a foul on Murray 25 yards from goal, Lindsay spilled Ross McErlain's free-kick and Mawford pounced to prod home the rebound.
With Lindsay continuing to look uneasy, Street peppered the Radstock goal and both Murray and McErlain went close to adding to the keeper's misery.
Phil Ormerod's cross then caused havoc in the Town box but McErlain and Leigh Bailey failed to capitalise on the chance when well placed.
The home side failed to increase their lead before half-time and were off-target again early in the second period when impressive debutant Josh White headed into the path of Mawford but he could only find the side netting from a tight angle.
Street were finally able to add a third goal when they were awarded a penalty. Referee David Ricketts spotted an infringement in the goalmouth melee following Dale Hunt's shot against the crossbar and Murray made the game safe from the spot with 23 minutes to play.
The Cobblers moved 4-0 ahead when a deep Craig Mawford free-kick was punched clear by Lindsay but the visiting defence left Jake Mawford unmarked and he completed his hat-trick with a superb volley.
Murray sealed the win seven minutes from time when he breached the offside trap to calmly slot past Lindsay.
