Hat Trick

[Reaps^]

A) Hat trick is 3 consecutive goals in a game by the same player (has to be one after another, with no other goals in between)

B) Hat trick is 3 goals in one game by the same player.

My question is, what is the correct definition of a hat trick?

Ok, i'm going to take it as B) being the correct answer.
It was a little debate with the misses, she thought she was right! geez... if she was, i'd never have heard the end of it!!!

(ps. i was talking footy only )
