The match only got under way thanks to the effort of local volunteers who cleared the thick snow on the pitch and they were rewarded with three stunning first-half strikes from Oli, striker Febian Brandy and John Nutter on his 100th appearance for the club.[LNB]Gillingham hit the opener after just eight minutes when Mark Bentley headed a corner across goal for Oli to connect perfectly with a bicycle kick for his first goal of the season.[LNB]Brandy had already tested Owain Fon Williams before he got the second shortly before the half-hour mark, collecting Simeon Jackson's lay off before surging past two challenges and burying the ball in the bottom corner.[LNB]Matters went from bad to worse for League One's bottom side when Nutter connected perfectly with Kevin Maher's cross for an angled volley in the 33rd minute.[LNB]But the Hatters did manage to net a consolation in the 66th minute thanks to Michael Rose's excellent 25-yard strike. However, Stockport have now lost nine straight league games.[LNB][LNB]
