Alex Newby scored a first-half hat-trick as Altrincham cruised to a 4-0 win over struggling Maidenhead.

Newby opened the scoring just eight minutes in as he turned in Tylor Golden’s cross.

Tyrese Dyce went agonisingly close for Maidenhead but instead Newby doubled the hosts’ lead in the 26th minute with a lovely finish from the edge of the box.

Six minutes later Altrincham were awarded a penalty and Regan Linney, having drawn the foul, picked himself up to convert from the spot.

Newby then score on the brink of half-time, turning in Linney’s cross.
