Reserves Thump Aldershot

Albion's reserves romped to a 8-1 victory tonight, including a first-ever hat-trick for Guy Butters.
Joe Gatting bagged a brace, while Jonny Dixon, Joel Lynch and Doug Loft also made the scoresheet on a comfortable evening for Ian Chapman's side.
A delighted Butters said, "It was a dubious second one, but I'm claiming it!
"I've scored twice in games before, but that's my first ever hat-trick as a pro.
"We started off a bit sluggish, but you know what these games are like - it's what you make out of them. Once we got the ball down we played some good stuff."
Albion went into the interval three goals up, but it could have been a lot more were it not for Aldershot keeper Will Dukes. He made a string of fine saves, the pick of the bunch a brilliant double stop to twice deny Gatting from close range.
Dukes was finally beaten by a looping header from Butters on the half-hour mark, and the Albion defender doubled his tally when he turned in Kerry Mayo's corner from six yards - perhaps with a little help from Shots defender Peter Hibbert.
Dixon produced a lively attacking display against his former employers, and the striker made it 3-0 before the break with a deft lob after a cheeky flick from Jake Robinson.
The visitors pulled one back in the 57th minute when Lucas Pickett gave John Sullivan no chance with a left-foot shot that rocketed into the top corner.
But Gatting made it 4-1 when he headed past Dukes from Dixon's fine cross, before rounding the Shots keeper after Joel Lynch's through-ball to notch Albion's fifth.
Lynch made it six when he finished from 12 yards after a clever chest down from Dixon, and Butters completed his hat-trick in the 89th minute with a powerful header from Gary Hart's cross.
There was still time for Loft to round off the victory with a low drive from the edge of the box.
Albion: (4-4-2) Sullivan (Winterton); Fogden, Butters, Lynch, Mayo; Robinson, Wills (Pearson), Loft, Hart (Foreman); Dixon, Gatting. Sub not used: Beda.
