Hat trick hero Ralph Bean Jr. gave North Village Rams plenty of reasons to celebrate today as he led them to a 4-1 thrashing of Devonshire Cougars in the Premeir's Dudley Eve Cup final at the National Sports Centre.

Injury-hit Cougars were down 2-0 within five minutes as Bean scored in the third minute and added a penalty in the fifth.

Raymond Beach made it 2-1 in the 14th minute, but Bean picked up his hat trick in the 42nd minute with a header and Rams substitute Vernon Tankard sealed the win in the second half.
