There weren’t many fixtures surviving the cold snap this week.

But when games do go ahead, big moments carry even more weight.

One of those moments came at half-time in Southside United’s Championship clash with DTI AFC.

With the game still competitive after 45 minutes, Craig Taylor was introduced for the second half.

Forty-five minutes later, he had a hat-trick.

No extended build-up.

No dramatic narrative needed.

Three goals. Clear impact.

By full-time, Southside had secured a 7–3 win.

On a reduced fixture card, that level of contribution stands out — and it’s why Taylor earns his place in this week’s Player of the Week nominations.

Introduced at the break.

Three goals in one half.

Game turned.

That’s the definition of influence.

Manager Kevin Young — whose side are building momentum at an important stage of the season — will take encouragement from the squad depth on show. The change worked. The response followed.

February is where seasons begin to settle. Positions tighten at both ends. Margins matter.

On a week where opportunities were limited by the weather, Craig Taylor made sure his counted.
