Liam Reeves has been on fire this season and bagged his 16th after just eight minutes.

Josh Woof got a couple with Uchenna Anyadiegwu, Ronan Donoghue and Harry Beresford also netting.
The only other fixture was a tight affair involving Hawes and Leyburn.
Jack Hammond opened the scoring for Leyburn with a good finish from the edge of the box.
A bullet header from Brett Calvert from a Tommy Calvert corner saw Hawes Level.
But Leyburn secured the win when Brandon Acton tapped in from close range following a Luke Wilkinson free-kick.
Both teams had chances late on but Leyburn held onto the win.
In the quarter finals of the Medals Shield, Richmond Mavericks overcame Catterick Garrison.
Daniel Johnson scored for Mavs in the first minute with Samuel Pickersgill making it 2-0 from the penalty spot.
