to extend the lead to a pair, a lead that carried over into the middle

make it 3-0, and at 33:16, Emersic completed the natural hat trick to

strike moving the scoreboard to 5-0. The Flames finally found the
goal at 55:15, when Ollie Bronnimann netted, but the homeside joy was
shortlived as the Jets added another 41 seconds later through Nicky
Chinn. Former Flame Tony Redmond found the final strike at 58:29 to
complete the scoring, giving a the Jets a 7-1 win and a psychological
boost ahead of the 2 game aggregate Premier Cup Semi final to be
played between these two clubs near the end of January.
