Mark McCammon hits four goals in Gillingham reserves' victory over Eastbourne Borough
by Matthew Panting
Outspoken Gillingham striker Mark McCammon let his football do
the talking on Wednesday afternoon.
McCammon scored four goals as Gillingham reserves beat
Eastbourne Borough 5-1 at Priestfield.
"Mark has done himself no harm with those goals," said
Stimson.
"To score four goals at any level is an achievement and it will
do him the world of good.
"You never know, in the next few weeks we might need Mark. He
certainly knows where the goal is from that performance.
"It was a good reserve team game. Certain players needed to get
some minutes, Danny Jackman in centre-midfield got 90 minutes and
that's great for his fitness levels."
Matt Smart gave Eastbourne the lead after an error by keeper
Simon Royce but McCammon levelled within a minute.
McCammon then netted his second and set up Adam Miller, who
scored the third.
McCammon completed a 12-minute hat-trick in the 37th minute
after collecting Chris Palmer's pass.
The striker, who turned down a loan move to Carlisle last week,
netted his fourth early in the second half before the pace of the
game fizzled out with a couple of substitutions.
Gavin Grant, who played for Gills in the 2005/06 season, came on
for the final half-hour.
