Every player scores

Hutton Cranswick United U-13s recently lost 24-0 to Bridlington Rangers Blue in the Hull Boys Sunday League.

However, it wasn't the scoreline that made the game noteworthy, it was the scorers.

Every player in Bridlington's 12-man squad got on the scoresheet, including the goalkeeper, who scored a hat-trick!

They managed this by rotating their players around, with manager Ian Steward saying: "From the start we dominated and the goals just kept coming. Whenever the goalkeeper kicked out the ball, one of our players managed to snaffle it. The defence had very little to do so at half-time we brought our keeper out and changed a few other positions."

Bridlington actually broke an FA record with football's governing body revealing: "The most scorers we have on record is from an FA Cup game in 1887, when Preston North End beat Hyde United 26-0. There were eight different scorers."
