A stunning brace from defender A.VerBeek ensured Madrid stay atop of the league with a perfect record and send the Bosnian Bombers crashing to consecutive defeats.
Madrid set out from the get go with some nervous football until the 10 minute mark where some fluency set in after a beautifully constructed goal was calmly slotted home by Hodges. A nice pass to Greene from Young was back heeled to Hodges who stuck it in the bottom right corner.
With J.Telfer out of the side due to SARS, new winter signing A.Byrne from Rangers in the SPL started on the bench and regular starting defender A.Verbeek returned from injury.
These 2 proved to provide a solid backbone for the heart of the Madrid defence after a shakey performance last week.
2 more goals flowed for Madrid after the break both scored by VerBeek with the second of his double being hammered into the top right corner from outside the box.
The bombers then hit back with a rather fortuitous goal after the ball was struck into Hodges and deflected into the left corner of the net. This was the only setback after a brilliant performance in the net by keepers Burton & Hodges.
In the final minutes as the Bombers pushed forward Greene countered down the right wing and calmly finished into the right side of the net to guarantee the Miners a resounding 4 - 1 victory.
Next up Firkin Wanderers who will provide the toughest test of the season after a crushing 7 - 1 defeat of cellar dwellers samgin at the weekend.
