Wardens bounced back from their 2-0 loss last week to beat Jet Blades 6-1 at home.

Wardens scored within five. Harry Dunn took a free kick 35 yards out. It was cleared straight back at Dunn, who volleyed with the outside of his left foot curling away from the keeper into the top corner, for an outstanding first goal for the club.

Twigger doubled the lead five minutes later. Joe Farraz got the ball deep into his own half, beating four Blades players before crossing the half way line and slipping Twigger in behind. Twigger calmly slotted into the bottom corner.

Blades improved after going two down and were causing problems for wardens. On 25 minutes Daniel Blackwell beat Tom Day to a corner and nod home to half the deficit. Blades continued to push for an equaliser, with only excellent defending from Alex Bradley and Cockburn keeping Wardens in the lead.

Kenilworth improved vastly after half time and retook a two goal lead on 55 minutes with an excellent team goal. After patient passing around the back Dunn, James Clay, Kiran Jayaram all combined with one-touch passing to give the ball to Felix Devine on the left, his first time cross dropped over the shoulder of Twigger who volleyed into the top corner.

Wardens looked more likely to add to the lead and did on 80 minutes when Clay won the ball back deep in his half to slip Twigger in, who slotted into the bottom corner for his hat trick and 11th goal of the season in eight games.

They added to the lead late on, when Twigger flicked on a long ball to Dylan Wright who rifled in off the bar. And moments later seconds before the final whistle Wright crossed to Twigger, who helped the ball to the returning Hayden Twycross to slot in from close range.

"Build up to the game and first half wasn't great, we didn't move the ball well and were in the lead mostly because of the individual brilliance of Harry and Joe for the two goals. Harry's goal might be the best individual goal I've seen," Eamonn Richards said after the game.

"But second half was excellent viewing, we played really good football, deserved the goals we scored and we much better off the ball.

"The atmosphere around the club at the moment is proper fun. We've got good lads and a good team. It's a shame our start of the season was so poor results wise, otherwise we'd be looking up at the table right now. Still unbeaten at home in the league and believe that will continue if lads stay locked in."
