HAMILTON Olympic powered their way through Round 8 of the PS4 NPL by scoring another five goals away to hapless Valantine FC.
Despite the very cold and windy conditions at Cahill Oval on Saturday, Olympic slowly began to take control of the game and went into the interval with a 1-0 lead through a goal by Simon Mooney.
In the second half they kept the ball down and adapted to the weather conditions better than Valentine. Kane Goodchild and Pat Brown put Olympic 3-0 in the lead and put the game out of reach for the home side.
Valentine continued to fight for every ball and never stopped trying to even get a consolation goal. All this caused was for Olympic to catch the opposition on the break and during one suck attack Olympic were awarded a penalty. Leo Bertos made the score 4-0 and Matt Minors added a fifth in injury time!
