Ventnor captain Emerson Tattersall scored 4 times as Ventnor blasted 8 goals past Osborne Coburg at Watcombe Bottom on Saturday (11th January).

Tattersall netted in the 8th, 52nd, 64th and 86th minutes. He has now scored an incredible total of 32 goals in just 14 games for the South Wight side.
Charlie Urry also scored in the 14th and 59th minutes to bring his total to 14 from 14 games. Euan Sargent and Neo Lamb were also on target for Ventnor. Jack Barsdell was given the man-of-the-match accolade.
