Scunny also put out a strongish side which included club captain Nathan Stanton, Tommy Evans in goal, Matt Sparrow and Paul Hayes.
From the off both sides went on the attack, which resulted in a highly entertaining game. Hockless and Hildred pulled the strings for Town whilst Sparrow did so for the Iron.
It was Hildred, linking with Carchedi, who provided the opener for Hockless. Following a neat one-two, Hildred's cross field ball was met by the left footer 20 yards out with a sweet low volley that flew past Evans.
Scunny soon replied though with two quick goals. Both similar to each other. First Bolder lost possession in midfield allowing Jonathan Hunt to bomb down the wing past Wes Parker, Hunt's cross was slammed in by the onrushing Matt Sparrow.
Minutes later an almost identical situation occured, possession was lost in midfield with neither Hildred or Bolder able to get back, progress was made down the left before Sparrow stretched to poke home.
Town, now chasing the game, weren't long behind. Hockless weaved his way through his marker(s) before he was hacked down by Craig Morley. Jevons stood over the free-kick and curled a delightful ball over the wall and beyond Evans from 20 yards.
As the game approached half-time, 2-2 was a fair scoreline. The fifth goal of the game was unfortunate but also laughable. Morley laid a harmless ball back to Evans who, under no pressure at all, took a wild swing only to miss the ball completley and watch in agony as the ball trickled into the goal.
The second half was all one way stuff from Town. Carcheid and Soames began to cause real trouble with some direct runs at the Iron defence who struggled to cope.
Jevons made it 4-2 halfway through with a slice of luck to help him. Given the ball in space, Jevvo took advantage of poor Scunny defending to fire goalwards. A shout for handball went up but the deflection took the ball past Evans and into the goal.
The hat-trick goal was an excellent breakaway goal. Hockless picked up the ball inside his own area before skipping past his opponent. Seeing Jevons run, the little man perfected his pass between three defenders to give the striker a shot on goal. A shot he took well, leaving Evans with no chance.
The hat-trick will make it even harder for Paul Groves to ignore Jevons' in the first team plans. But what's the betting he will?
