A Pair Of Trebles

Eoin Doyle and Joe Mason both notched hat tricks last night, for Chesterfield and Bolton Wanderers respectively. While hat tricks for Irish players are not uncommon, two on the same day is a rare occurance. The last time two Irish players scored hat tricks on the same day was Saturday, 30th August 2008. Kevin Doyle scored three in the second half, including two in two minutes, as Reading came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 4-2 at the Madejski Stadium in the Championship, while Billy Clarke notched four goals for Darlington in a 6-0 win over Macclesfield in League Two.

Fans of Irish football did not have long to wait from the previous time a pair of boys in green had scored hat tricks, as only four days earlier, Dubliner Jon Daly and former U21 striker Billy Mehmet both scored three in the Scottish League Cup for Dundee United against Cowdenbeath and St Mirren against Dumbarton!

Here's hoping we're only waiting four days to the next pair of trebles!
