ORIENT are cruising against St Albans City FC as first half hat-trick by Scott McGleish is icing on cake in dominant display.

St Albans, bossed by Orient legend Steve Castle never threaten the hold which League One Orient have on the game.

Alex Revell puts O's ahead on eight minutes when he slots home inside box with delicious finish past keeper Mike Emery from Adam Chambers' through ball. Drew Roberts nets for Saints on 30 minutes, but is well off-side.

McGleish then runs riot in seven minute spell. First goal comes on 37 minutes when he taps in from Revell's pass Emery fluffs kick under no pressure at all.

Goal number two comes five minutes later when he taps in from 10 yrds off Dawson's pass, after original shot bounces off post.

Then McGleish wraps up hat-trick a minute before the break with a classy lob into the far corner from edge of the box which leaves Emery totally stranded.
