FOOTBALL: Hot-shot Hamp in repeat show

From the Bicester Advertiser, first published Friday 15th Dec 2006.

Bicester Town striker Adam Hamp took his season's tally to 13 goals after he scored a double for the second time in as many games.

Last week's brace against high-flying Hungerford Town was followed by a double in their 3-0 win at Chipping Norton Town at the weekend.

His tally is more remarkable considering he missed a chunk of the season with a hamstring injury.

"He's not fully fit, but he's had a couple of good hours," said boss Tim Fowler, whose side are without a game this weekend.

"He's back on the road, but he's not the finished article yet. We've had two wins since we lost against Slimbridge. "That's our only defeat in 16 games, so we're going well."

Bicester had to wait until late in Saturday's game before grabbing the points at Chippy.

The win was comfortable in the end, but Town were indebted to their keeper Jeff Simmonds for making two vital one-on-one saves.

Impressive new signing Sean Bott (pictured) opened his account for the club in the 62nd minute when he burst through and fired in off a post from the edge of the box.

Bott was the architect of the second goal when his fine run from midfield forced the Chippy keeper Mark Harris to bring him down for a penalty, with Adam Hamp stroking the penalty home.

A minute before the end, Hamp got his second when he broke clear before lifting the ball over Harris.
