It was the Craig Westcarr show at Meadow Lane this afternoon, as Notts County claimed a 5-0 victory over Hereford United. The wide-man opened his account in the 34^thminute, capitalising on a mistake by the Hereford backline. This sent County into the interval a goal to the good, despite a sluggish opening to the encounter. Westcarr's second was certainly the finest of his three, slamming into the top corner after a neat counter attack. This appeared to kill the game off and his side took full control of the game. His third and final came from the penalty spot after Luke Rodgers had been brought down inside the box. This 72^ndminute strike rounded off his first ever professional hat-trick. There was still time for more after Westcarr had been given a standing ovation by the home crowd. Rodgers found the net from another spot-kick, with the visitors down to nine men. Rodgers grabbed a second almost instantly, connecting with an accurate centre from the right. This proved to be the final goal of the game, rounding off a five-star home debut for the new gaffer.
