Warren Schulz struck a hat-trick as Ramsgate downed Worthing in a seven-goal thriller in Ryman League Division 1 South at Southwood.

The Rams captain headed in James Gregory’s corner to give his side the lead on four minutes, but the Rebels replied through Glen Woodburn and Paul Kennett to wrestle back the advantage.

Schulz’s second header of the game, followed by Gary Mickleborough’s close-range strike, gave the home side a half-time lead, and the Rams maintained their momentum after the break.

Tom Tsangarides netted a fourth and Schulz completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot to give Ramsgate their biggest win of the season.
