Tonight's scorers Selwyn 5 (Declan Hickford 4, Dan Ede) Universities 2 (Millar McLauchlan, Keegan Hollis) HT 0 - 1
Any records on quickest hat-trick in MPL game? Declan got his in 7 minutes last night.

I will check my records out later tonight but normally count total playing time
Now have had a chance to check my MPL stats first need to point out that the game last night is not considered as part of the Mainland Premier League, it is a seperate competition, the Mainland Premier Qualifying League and the goals scored will not be considered as MPL goals as I understand it.
Also was not at the game but several Betting Sites show that Declan's goals were scored in the 46th, 50th and 56th minute so if this times are correct then hat-trick was scored in eleven minutes but is so far the only hat-trick in the MPQL and therefore the quickest and fastest.
Any way back to your question the quickest hat-trick scored in the MPL was to Greg Fetuz for Nomads against Ferrymead Bays on 24 June 2006, with Greg scoring in the 2nd, 3rd and 9th minutes so not only the quickest but also the fastest ever hat-trick scored. Nomads went on to win the game 5 - 3 with Greg scoring fourth of Nomads goal in the 86th with the other going to Andy Pitman (51st) with Bays goals scored by Brent Archer - in pen in the 22nd and Greg Draper in the 45th.
Hope this helps.
