England and Great Britain's Ashley Jackson scored four goals in the final of the National Indoor Hockey Championships in Nottingham on Sunday evening to help his side take the title.

The West Malling star - voted World Young Player of the Year by his fellow players in December and who fired England to Gold Medal glory in the European Championships last summer - was on fire as East Grinstead thrashed Surbiton 9-4 to secure back-to-back titles at the TrentFM Arena.

The game was screened live on Sky Sports with Jackson, pictured, picking up the man of the match award.

Jackson - who now plays his club hockey for Dutch side HGC - also netted twice in the semi-final as East Grinstead overcame Reading 7-5 on Saturday.
