RYAN Hargreaves grabbed a debut hat-trick for Thackley under-19s as they beat Bradford Park Avenue 5-2 in the Northern Alliance League.

Thackley took a 4-0 lead into the half-time break before Avenue hit back with two quick goals in the second period.

Jonathan Homes and Steve Benn added to Hargreaves' treble on a rain-soaked night at Dennyfield.

Thackley next entertain Ossett Town in the Pat Rice League Cup tomorrow (7.45pm).
