Noel Hunt staked his claim for a recall to Reading's starting line-up for Saturday's clash with Swansea by scoring a hat-trick for the reserves. Striker Hunt stole the show as the Royals' second string beat Swindon's reserves 4-3 on Tuesday afternoon. Brian Howard, who has been suspended for Reading's last three matches after being sent off against Middlesbrough last month, was also on target from the penalty spot. Hughes will be available to return against the Swans along with Jay Tabb and Andy Griffin, who also featured for the reserves after recovering from injuries.
