Frosty the goalman for Tigers

George Frost hit a hat-trick as Holbeach United hit Leiston U23s for six.
The Tigers roared to their first win of the Thurlow Nunn Division One North campaign with a 6-1 win.
Sam Harris netted the first on his second full debut, joining after playing with Skegness Town last season.
Kyle Compton and Sam Carter also scored to give the Tigers a 3-0 half time lead.
Frost then struck three times in the second half to make it 6-1.
“We were really good,” said manager Danny Clifton. “To be fair, they’re a young team, we started off really well and then just blew them away.
“We were 3-0 up after 20 minutes.
“I asked the players to set the tone and stick to the game plan and they really did that.
“We’ve now got a really good squad that can play a few different systems.
“I brought two or three players into the side who I felt would suit that system more.
“They might not play in another game, but only because I can bring others in that maybe suit the system I want to play in that game a bit more.
“I’ve a really good blend of players and we’re in a good place as a result.”
Clifton was also delighted with George Frost.
“He’s hit the ground running. Losing Cal Davies and filling his boots was going to be tough, but George has been absolutely brilliant.
“When we looked at it pre-season about how we’d replace Cal’s goals we were hoping to spread the goals around the team.
“After four games last year I think we’d scored seven goals and Cal had got four.
“This year I think we’ve scored 14 and George has got six.”
Clifton also hailed the signing of Harris who is back at the club after coming in from a higher level.
“He’s a major signing and someone we’ve been trying to get for a while,” he continued. “He was playing the level above and getting some game time.
“But it was he who got in touch with us and asked us if he could come.
“He’s such a good lad he spoke to Skegness and their manager Chris Rawlinson and said he wanted more game time and they agreed to let him go.
“He’s still lacking match fitness but scored within seven minutes from a corner.
“That kind of aerial presence is something we’ve lacked.”
As The Voice was due to go to press, Holbeach were set to visit Whittlesey Athletic on Wednesday night.
They’re not scheduled to have a fixture until a trip to Newark Town in the FA Vase on August 26.

Tigers: Rigby, Coote, Johnson, Nicholson, Oldham, Carter, Harris, Barnes, Compton, Frost, Cook, Subs: Ling, Wirkowski, Hoyle.
Attendance: 106
